Odds are it's from a magazine or newspaper. As newspapers and magazines were printing new stuff regularly, daily for newspapers, much of these types of plates are from them.
I've seen other baseball printing plates, and your's is a nicer example. More detailed graphics than usual.
I once had a circa 1940 complete set of Red Sox player printing plates in the original box-- Red Sox return address and newspaper editor foreword address. The only problem was they were cardboard not metal and not terribly attractive.
