DescriptionThis steel copy board has a utilitarian rectangular design with raised edges and a sturdy, hinged clamp at one end. The surface features an embossed “X” reinforcement pattern, indicative of its function as a durable writing or copying tool. The clamp mechanism is secured by rivets and a lever, allowing paper or documents to be firmly held in place. Copy boards were commonly used in offices, businesses, and print shops for drafting, duplicating documents, or stabilizing paper during writing.On View
