Love at first sight with this one--a large rubber print block mounted to (heavy) wood, made for stamping crates (I presume) with "Native Extra Fancy Mushrooms, Patriot Parkway, Revere, MA." For whatever reason, the aged surface of the rubber now feels to me exactly aligned with the character of mushrooms (especially ones from Revere, Mass.), and the icon at center looks to me like a little mole or gopher turning up a 'shroom--though perhaps I'm imagining that! Really a great object, large enough to read as a sign, which could be mounted to the wall with the addition of a hanger to the back.
10 1/4" x 5" x 1 7/8". With fantastic surface and remnants of red ink on the lettering, which makes it pop. Heavy for its size, wood is thick and solid, with a layer of rubber between the stamp itself and the wood as documented. Stable and sound and not at all fragile.
