interesting brass or copper plate from scrap bucket

[junkhunter]

As I was picking threw the scrap from past month I found this guy. their is script writing on it and it was attached to something. It is thick plate metal. And about the size of a buckle.

Very interesting, maybe a pencil lead rubbing on the script would help read it...Sub

Looks like a plate for printing calling cards.

Looks like a plate for printing calling cards.

That would explain why it looks like a mirror image of a name.

Very nice find! I believe it is a printing plate.

Printing plate.. You can tell from the small holes around the very edge!

Use a pencil and paper to bring out the writing! Looks like someone signature.

that would be a master print plate then. Guess I will add it to the collection. I have a pile of them.
