Large Art Deco Etched Printing Plate, A + B cooking utensil as opposed to the beingI just love the very Art Deco form of this "A", and the "B" on the reverse side, perhaps the perfect thing to hang just outside or just inside the front door should one's last name begin with either letter. The greening to what I believe is copper appears to be primarily just on the surface, largely able to be cleaned away if one wanted, though I think it is all to the good, making it all the more lovely. 9 1 4" x 8 5 16", very good condition, 1920s
