Metal Advertising Print Plate

$25 each

metal printing plates used for newspaper advertisements, specifically for beauty parlors and related services. These plates were created by etching or engraving an image and text onto a metal surface, which was then inked and used to print multiple copies in newspapers or other publications. 

These plates offer a tangible connection to the history of advertising and print media. The content on the plates reflects the beauty standards and popular hairstyles of the time, providing insights into the cultural trends of the early 20th century. The age of these plates would likely correspond to the era depicted in the advertisements, which appears to be the 1920s and 1930s.
