Newspaper Printing Press Plate

Lead/Copper printers plate found on ranch land about 6 miles out of town. To bad it wasn't complete.

Maybe a bank ad?
The local paper said they'd try to help me locate the ad, if theirs, for a complete picture.

That is a really cool find. I think I may have found one too. In the upper right of the photo, there is an image of a woman in a vintage dress. I wonder if this was some kind of newspaper press.

Comisoas, that could also be a mold that would make an impression on soap or food. Interesting. Is it made of lead?

Tinhorn, congratulations on that unique find. Will be very interesting if the bank can locate a copy of the complete ad. It sure looks old. Well done.

I am not sure...seems kind of like a copper or brass. You may be right about the use for soap. I found it where an old house once stood.
