Has anyone ever seen one of these? Seems to be rare to me, but which year? maybe 1965 or 1970? Thanks Ed | ||

Print Blocks
I have several of them, which are actually called engravings, electrotypes, or simply cuts. Here are some " prints of them that I made, called "rough proofs," because I simply inked them and made the print on a proof press without proper makeready, which would have produced a better print.
Interesting too, that until I proofed the Hoover cuts shown here, they most likely hadn't seen ink since 1929! Also, since I am both a vacuum cleaner collector and a hobby printer (and was employed in the Printing Industry for many years as well), these cuts actually serve to tie the two hobbies together!

Ed,
Keep in mind the Lux in the ad was a rebuild, and the ad was probably from the 40's or 50's. There was also a place to insert the name of the vac store offering this promotion, and I'm thinking that the rebuild company (probably Metropolitan) probably included the ad cut when the vac shops ordered a certain number of units.
You probably also noticed a GE and a Kirby, think it's either a Classic, Omega, or Classic III. Glad you enjoyed them! Jeff | ||
