The previous owner is 98 years old and left numerous belongings behind for his transition to long-term care. While cleaning out the house, we found a wooden box with hundreds of antique / vintage printing plates and blocks. Most are brass, with some being copper, aluminum on wood, solid wood, solid lead, or brass-plated lead. The photos have been taken on a 1" x 1" grid to show size. Lot of 34 antique / vintage printing plates themed around skilled trades and building materials.

Some were a bit difficult to pinpoint the company, so please forgive a couple that may not fit this theme. The small "US RUBBER COMPANY" (top left) has a split in the wood block. Plates / blocks will be wrapped in foam blanketing and taped into bundles (or individually).

These bundles will then be bagged.
