Found my first Print Plate ! Anyone know this brand?

[CoinandRelicMan]

Have seen some here a few times in the past, but this is the first advertising print plate for me ! Nearly didn't get this item unearthed it was ten inches down at least ! Too bad its not the whole plate but it is enough to have made my hunt a good one !

First a close up on the brand badge, hard to read on top part says "High Arc" then not sure what right side says. Looks like it has a fancy initialized part in middle S B maybe looks like a dollar sign to me also sort of.



Full picture with quarter for scale:

If anyone recognizes this brand post away please ! Thanks =)

It reads "High Art Clothing" and the S&B is Strouse & Brothers
Here is an example of their ads, although it doesn't have the logo:
High Art Clothing 1888 - Padre Art - Fine Art Blog

Edit; Here's the logo: http://www.raylcoughlin.com/store/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=7885

Dunno' the brand but being a printer I can verify that you've got part of a letterpress plate.
I thought it may have been a die for embossing until I saw the second pic.
Cool find.
