Was hoping someone could help identify this print plate. This is a vintage solid alloy block (probably zinc) about 1 1/4" x 2 1/4" and weighs over a pound. It's a reverse image, so the batter is a lefty. I created a rough color rub and did a horizontal flip to get a close idea what it might look like.
My first thought was that it is a very traditional Ruth pose but he seems to be a bit slender...or maybe it is and I just did a lousy rub job. Seems to be some old red ink left over and what looks like pinstripes on the jersey, which can't be seen on the rub.
Would be kinda' cool to see this on a card or ad. Any help would be appreciated.
