<p>[QUOTE="2manycats, post: 8451352, member: 13761"]This looks like hot stamping, in which metal dies are used to press gold or other colors of foil into the surface to be printed, often book covers. Here it looks like foil was not used, so I'd guess Great Depression era, when manufacturers were experimenting with cheaper production techniques. Design seems appropriate to that period, too, with a little lingering Nouveau style.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
