This Christmas card was produced using the circa 1920 die shown on the right. We found this die
in an old print shop when we had purchased under a bunch of ruble. It is a brass die mounted on
what looks like oak. It is very uneven and took a great deal of make ready to get it to print evenly.
We found the end result very pleasing.
Letterpressed on a C&P, 8 x 12
Stock: Crane's 100 cotton
Inside Copy: Merry Christmas foil stamped in gold.
