<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manycats, post: 1781150, member: 13761&quot;]If it, including the block it&#039;s mounted on, was precisely .918 inches thick, it&#039;s what old-school printers call &quot;type-high&quot;, meaning it could have been printed with standard type. If so, one would expect the plywood it&#039;s on to be inky - while the printing process is not so messy, the clean-up is. If not, a decorative piece, or re-mounted. The sharp edges of the routed-out areas (they kind of look like a contour map with three depths) in the empty spaces argue for actual use - someone took some time to do that: a simple photo-etched repro would not have that sharpness. They were still making zinc plates like this as late as 1997, which is the last time I had one made, and I see the company is still in business, so it might be newer still.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
