The embossed metal press sheet was used for impressing images of the company's brand name onto each plug of tobacco.
The mold was first placed upside down in a square wood frame, the tobacco was spread, then another blank tin & wood press was placed on top.
Pressure applied, then sent to the curing room. Later cut into plugs & wrapped for sale.
The press sheet measures approximately in inches about 12" x 12" and weighs about 1 pound. 24 images on it (4 across and 6 down).
If you a collector of tobacco history this is a must!
Please examine photos carefully and consider them a part of your description
DO GET MOST OF MY ITEMS FROM ESTATE SALES OR GARAGE SALES SO KEEP IN MIND THAT VINTAGE OR OLDER ITEMS ARE NOT ALWAYS PERFECT EITHER FROM USE, STORAGE ETC.
I AM NO EXPERT BUT I WILL TRY TO POINT OUT ANY OBVIOUS IMPERFECTIONS OR MAJOR FLAWS.
Thank you for looking
