Original vintage metal printing block featuring a cartoon referee blowing a whistle and signaling with his hand — a humorous mid-century sports illustration likely used in newspapers or advertising.
This letterpress block consists of a metal etched plate (zinc or magnesium) mounted on a hardwood base. The design shows a character with a whistle in his mouth, expressive face, and raised hand making an official gesture — classic of 1940s–1960s commercial art styles.
A fantastic collectible for fans of vintage sports art, printing history, or letterpress ephemera.
