Vintage Copper Printing Plate: READER ' S DIGEST Christmas Ad, 60 - 70 Years Old
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:24449 |
Up for sale is a vintage solid-copper printing plate of an advertisement for READER'S DIGEST, specifically for a Christmas gift subscription to the magazine. It's a large plate and measures about 9.5" x 7". You can read some of the text on it in the last pic when I held the plate up to a mirror. (If you need more pics, please let me know--before bidding!--and I'll do my best to get them to you.)
This is at least 60 to 70 years old or so. My grandfather got it at an ad age...ncy that he worked at a looong time ago. You can see that given its age, it's discolored and oxidized (and worn) in parts--I have no idea if it can be cleaned/restored. The plate also seems to be missing some small pieces here and there. Nevertheless, this is being sold AS IS. I have a 100% feedback rating so bid with confidence!
This will be sent to you via a USPS Priority Mail flat-rate envelope to an eBay/PayPal-verified U.S. address only. (I do not ship internationally.) Payment must be made within 48 hours of the purchase or I reserve the right to cancel the sale and re-list it. Thank you for looking and please let me know if you have any questions.
Please note that eBay may charge sales tax, which it started doing universally since January 1st of 2019, depending on where you live. I have nothing to do with it and can't keep eBay from collecting it. Sorry about that. (But if you're not paying it for now, enjoy it while you can because more & more states are jumping onto the sales tax bandwagon!)
