    Comic book printing plate

    I bought the comic book itself from ebay. It was obviously a time when chasing animals with bats was still politically correct.

    Comic book printing plate

    Dug this up in Northampton, Mass. At first, I thought it was a rubber floor mat, but closer inspection proved otherwise. It is a comic book printing plate titled, "SPEEDY RABBIT." It is a reverse image of the cover. It is roughly from 1963. I believe it is one-of-a kind,therefore maybe...

    monday at jobsite

    Unfortunately, I only usually get one shot at a certain area. Once I do my work, I can't go digging it back up. But, rest assured that if I find any indication of glass, ash, etc., I check the area thoroughly. -Andy
