STOCK NO. (Stock, No!) Old Solid Brass Print Block for the collection Very sweetly done

Very sweetly done

which I understand from the seller would have been made for an Italian opera theatre

making one wonder whether she once had admirers peering up at her from the sides of from whom she wisely took her leave

and I think the rest are about the same age

STOCK NO. (Stock, No!) Old Solid Brass Print Block for the collection Very sweetly doneFound this week as the market was plunging, I took this old print block to read not just STOCK NO. but also STOCK NO! And, with these tariffs, no matter where they settle, who knows what will be in stock? A nice old one, looks like solid brass to me (almost like a gold bar!) with a very nice heft and an untouched patina. 4 3 4" x 1 x 15 16".
