from my collection. Circa 1910's stone featuring tintags and believe it or not - images of Colgan's Chips containers. When they no longer used them - they sometimes would end up in fills and driveways! These later stones @ around 10" x 12" were easier to minipulate than the earlier ones - stones that were much "chunkier" and heavier. Utilizing multiple color passes would require multiple pressings - no easy task especially in lining up the correct scheme.

Just curious if you bought that stone at one of the Cleveland Nationals (2007 or 2009)?
Looks like the same stone I had the chance to buy and passed on. Wish I hadn't. Jantz |

think it was 2007. Think I bought it from my friend Glenn. Getting it home on the plane was bitch as they said it could be a weapon and couldn't go as carry-on. Besides the fear of it breaking - my cargo bag was already at the weight limit and my flight about to take off.
I'm probably going to have it placed in a sort of iron armature or brace so that it can be safely stood upright and maybe even swivel. Of course I had the same thought 7 years ago and although it's moved once or twice - it remains in the same state as when I bought it. Reminds me of a quote I recently encountered here - Aesop - when all is said and done - more is said than done... |

Interesting stuff. I always figured that the really crisp, clear ghosts resulted from some sort of issue in the press itself while the gauzier ones were wet sheet transfers. I'd guess this is a wet sheet transfer:
