Where is the printing plate material located?

Depending on the set, the "plate" would be the easy part. Lithographic stones are still available for art printers, and there are enough vintage ones out there that I wouldn't say they're hard to find.
Stuff produced after the change to aluminum might be marginally harder, but there isn't much difference between the 30's and 80's.
