Found this really cool printer's plate (1 3/8" x 2 1/16") while metal detecting my front yard next to the road. It is from the Ubiko Milling Co and dates from 1902-1956.

The company was started around 1902 and the grain plant closed in 1955-56. The company was said to be the first to scientifically create animal feed that contained all the necessary nutrients. The plant was bought by the Nu-Maid Margarine Company and was located in Cincinnati, Ohio near Procter & Gamble's Ivory dale plant.
I have also seen (ebay) some feedbags with the circular emblem including "Life Guard" and "Ubiko Feeds". You just never know what is going to come out of the ground, when metal detecting, and that is one of the great draws of metal detecting - the unknown.
