DescriptionThis printing plate for Reliable Reproductions, Inc. has a large rectangular wooden base with a metal surface embossed on one side. With a swirling fingerprint pattern on the background, raised purple text indicates that the block was used at Reliable Reproductions which were located at 401-403 Second Street Northwest, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The word Reliable is in block text like the location information, and the cursive word Reproductions begins with a large letter R. In recent years the company continues to work in a variety of fields from sandblasted glass to reprographics (reproducing graphics through mechanical or electrical means).
