From the archives of M.C. Lilley, this listing is for a very nice antique copper printing plate that was intended for use to print illustrations in old fraternal regalia catalogs.  The 2 ½” x 4 ⅞” copper plate pictures a gold-filled watch chain.  The copper plate was never mounted to a wood backing and was stored in its original envelope.  The printing plate is in Mint condition and the envelope is VG with wear & heavy soiling from storage.  I did not polish the copper because it has a deep red/brown patina that only comes with decades of sitting unused.  Please look at all the photos and ask any questions.  See my other listings.  Combined shipping is available to save postage.
