Antique Mobil Oil Gargoyle Letterpress Printing Block
Here we have a rare antique Mobil Oil letterpress block from the early 1900s. Check out the roaring Gargoyle ready to pounce any bewildered bystander. And imagine putting this stamp on every material coming across your desk. Fantastic. I love the detail on this rare unicorn. Now with the rise of old letterpresses again, you're in business.

The rare letterpress block came out of an old estate in rural Minnesota. On the reverse wood block someone wrote "The Ferncroft Co" in ink. I believe this was a manufacturing company in Minnesota in the 1910s.
The rare Mobil Oil collectible measures about 1" wide, 1" tall, and just under 1" deep. The piece is very solid. There is perfect patina throughout the metal face. Please see all pics as they are part of the description.
I ship FedEx to street addresses in the continental USA only. Free shipping on the Mobil Oil memorabilia.
The Gargoyle is the money. But you already know it.
