Old Printing Plate?

[WHADIFIND]

UPDATE: NEW PICS


Dug this rather large piece from about 12 inches down. Seemed out of place for the field, but who knows what might have been used to fill in across the years.

The pics show it's measurements. It's non-magnetic, weighs about a half pound, appears to be a tile back with a copper/tin/bronze plated front.




This last one, I dampened the surface a bit to show the figures better.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

HH!

Is it just me, or does it look like a signiture across the cows legs on the bottom right?

Well, I have the piece here and I can't make things out as well as some have here. AND, they could see things I couldn't from my poor pictures.

I think I see what you might be referring to but, my eyes can't make it out.

Maybe someone else?

Rail road conductors (my relative). Maybe showing the shipping of fresh beef ? Saw the hat

VERY possible! I mentioned before that there was a hat but I thought it looked similar to the one Johnny Yuma wore. Could very easily be a conductor though.

Thanks!

Well, just about anything would make them better than I seem to be able to do. My trouble is, first, I just am not a printer and second, this plate is not flat. It has a few bends in it that don't show too well in the pics. I might try to take it to someone who knows what they're doing but at this point, I'm just not seeing much that would help. Kinda like, what you see is what you get. LOL

Thanks for trying! If I get a better print, I'll post.
