Old block

A while ago, an interesting question came through. Some previous customers had an old block they wanted to try printing with but hadn't had success with the first printer they tried. My understanding is that they didn't have the ability to letterpress print in this specific shop and therefore didn't know what to do with said block. They sent me a picture first. And then they sent me the actual block second so I could take it for a whirl on the press. It printed beautifully. We ended up making some really classy stationery. I'd love to know the story behind the block - all I know now is that it's been in the family for ages. Pretty neat.

    I love return address printed on the back flap.

Do you have an old block laying about your house collecting dust that you'd like to turn into a beautiful piece of art? Let me know, I'd love to help.
