Antique wooden and copper printer's type block is titled MENU and shows a woman cook adding kerosene to an old fashioned stove. This block is very detailed, with a lovely patina. I believe this to be an electrotype copper face mounted on hardwood printers block.
This block is 2.75 x 2 x 7/8 inches; very good vintage condition; circa 1900.
