Very true....well-I guess at this point..we'll just keep them..unless someone thinks they're worth selling, cos they're kind of cool and old. We do appreciate your help though :3

Thanks to all. It had not occurred to me that my brother works for a printing company..what was I thinking..not sure if they have that type of printing equipment-but I will ask.

We're not sure we want to sell them but it would be nice to get a value on them. Maybe we'll just build a frame and hang them on the wall? Also we were really curious if any of them-other than these exist anywhere. How unique are they? That sort of thing. Would it better to keep them and make prints from them?

My husband found them years ago stuffed on high shelf in his parent's house.

We did the rubbing that is pictured above-We have some close ups of the plates. But no we have not inked them-as we haven't any ink and didn't think of it.
Here are some examples-we have 8 and none are exactly alike

Thanks! We've had them for years and years. We can't find much info on who or where to look for someone interested in/or has info on this sort of thing. Searched the internet many times. We found many printed ads but no plates for printing those ads. Any leads on any info would be great!

BTW-We found a man named "Duffy" years ago but he wasn't overly helpful.

We were wondering if these have any value at all. They are vintage Advertisement printing plates mounted on the original wood We can't find anything like them anywhere. They are for Columbia Six Cars.

Hope the photo posts
