These Japanese vintage printing block panels would lend a unique decor accent to a living room, bedroom, hallway, or any other place you'd like to have an interesting focal point. Hand-carved on wooden panels, the vintage printer's block have beautiful floral designs.

One panel is thicker than the other and has carved patterns on both sides. Each wooden panel has three notches at the top and bottom.

These are very old wood printing the blocks. The wooden printing blocks have residue of ink and other signs of wear and the passing of time including scratches, chipping of the wood around the edges as well as a few chips from the designs, and some splitting of the wood at the tops and bottoms that does not effect the integrity of the pieces.

Decorating with vintage wooden advertising rulers is a fun way to create unique and interesting wall decor. This rare old ruler from the J.C. Yarn Co. could be the cornerstone of your collection.

Located for many years on Spring Street in the heart of what would become New York City's trendy Soho district, an old and faded painted J.C. Yarn sign was once still visible on the side of the building. I wonder if it is still there?

Painted white, the vintage advertising ruler has bold red and blue lettering and the image of an old 1930s rotary telephone. The ruler includes J.C. Yarn Co's two New York City addresses along with a CAnal exchange telephone number.

The vintage ruler is in good condition showing typical wear to the paint and some light soiling.

The ruler is 15" long and has a metal edge.
