Default Printing Plates

Yesterday a large heavy package arrives. Instantly I knew it was a large lot of printing plates I won in the last LOTG auction. I held off opening until this evening. All I can say is wow. So much fun going through them all. The lot was packaged so well it took 2 hours to go completely through the box, thanks LOTG for the careful packaging.

Now what do do with these? I'm really only interested in the baseball and possibly the football plates. There are some really cool bicycling and boxing one I am going to try to trade off. The baseball ones, I would like to frame with a copy of a print. How would I go about making a print of these? Is there someone here that would be willing to educate me? This is an entirely new dimension to my collecting.

Thanks much
Craig

Looks as if some of them could be digitally scanned to make decent and bigger images.

I might be interested in the cycling ones.

I haven't tried yet with mine, but I'm almost certain I can get prints from most of the old plates.
Especially in a few weeks when I get my press up and running. Not a printing press, but an industrial press that should work well with old printing blocks.

They look like they are all on wood blocks. If they are, just look for someone in your area that has a letter press print shop. There should be some hobby shops around. Call them and ask if they have a proof press. Most shops will have one. Explain what you have and ask if they would be willing to pull some proofs for you. Should be very inexpensive and should take very little time. good luck.

Some really great info everyone. Thanks for all of your input. Keep it coming.

I will reach out to a feew local print shops to see if any have an old press. Most are not on wood blocks, only a handful are. The remaining are on metal plates or are made of metal entirely.

Like i said this is a new area for me. I am having a great time researching and just admiring them.

If i am able to print any of the pic i will surely post my results.
