    ca. 1960s
    small
    (about 1 inch square
    by "type high" -
    I would give dimensions in picas except I no longer have a line gauge)
    COPPER & wood letterpress line cut or line engraving (known on ebay as printer's blocks - but a real printer never would have called them that), being the official emblem of Kiwanis International
    The scan with the words "Kiwanis International"
    BACKWARDS
    is what the cut will look like when you take it out of its mailing package; the scan with the words "Kiwanis International"
    NOT BACKWARDS
    is flipped to its mirror image and gives you an idea of what the cut's artwork will look like when actually printed on paper. Cuts ALWAYS look better when they are printed but I no longer have any letterpress equipment whereby I could print these for a picture here.
    BOTH SCANS ARE, because of new ebay picture rules, POSSIBLY LARGER THAN ACTUAL SIZE so go only by the dimensions given in the first paragraph of this description to know the actual size!
    I have LOTS of other printer's blocks / line cuts for sale in my ebay store. To see them click on "View Seller's Store" link above - under my ebay trade name - and then, on the left side of your screen under categories, click on the one that says "Printing."
    This would likely be VERY useful to a boutique letterpress print shop that might have Kiwanis Club members as customers
    has a bit of old hot type print shop patina but still VG+ - will print up nicely and the copper metal makes it an attractive collectible for Kiwanis members & collectors.
