FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL
ca. 1960s smaller-sized (about 1
7/8
inches wide by 1
3/8
inches deep -
I would give dimensions in picas except I no longer have a line gauge)
letterpress ZINC line cut or line engraving (known on ebay as printer's blocks - but a real printer never would have called them that),
showing a cartoonish man holding a racquet - either tennis or badminton.
The scan (POSSIBLY ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAILS) with the racquet on YOUR RIGHT is what the cut will look like when you take it from the shipping package; the scan (also POSSIBLY ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL) with the racquet on YOUR LEFT is what it will look like in its mirror image when it is actually printed on paper. Cuts ALWAYS look better when they are printed but I no longer have any letterpress equipment whereby I could print these for a picture here.
BOTH SCANS ARE, because of new ebay picture rules, PROBABLY LARGER THAN ACTUAL SIZE so go only by the dimensions given in the first paragraph of this description to know the actual size!
This would be great used by a boutique or hobbyist letterpress printer to print stationery or business cards for an amateur or professional tennis or badminton player - or for a collector of memorabilia about racquet games.
