Anyone ever find printing plates? - 10/17/2005 8:37:21 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline I know...not a bottle. I've been pulling these out with plans to save them for engraving name plates. I was cleaning one up, and lo and behold it's a printing plate for a tract called "Signs of the Times." This is a religious paper my church has been putting out for more than 100 years, so it was neat to find. Anyone know anything else about these? Did they make more than one set? Value?

They were copper with lead filled backs. in general i'd say they arent worth anything unless the printed subject matter is of interest to someone. mine tended to be all chopped up so it was hard to tell what they even printed. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 2
