1916 Sporting News letter press authenticity
Posted By: Randall Adams
I just picked up this letter press, it measures 3 1/4" X 2" X 7/8", anybody have any info as to authenticity or value? Also, I reversed the image using Photoshop so it would be easier to read.

What I can tell you is that a printing plate from back then would have a raised surface like yours, and printing plates from back then commonly had a heavy wood backing. The unusual thing is one would normally expect everything to be backwards. Perhaps it was some type of display item, as you this type of raised letters plaque in old buildings and historical sites. |

If the text is in reverse on the plate, it looks to me like you have the original printing plate. |
