Nancy Drew Printing Plate Collectible - Tandy Frontispiece

I recently acquired this Nancy Drew collectible item - it's a copper printing plate that was used by Kingsport Press to print the glossy frontispieces for The Mystery of the Brass-Bound Trunk. This image was drawn by the first Nancy Drew illustrator, Russell H. Tandy.

Here's a flipped horizontal/negative of the image to give you an idea (thanks to Sleuth Jarrell for creating this!)...

There is some wear/aging to the plate as you can see in the image - will need to see if this can be restored.

Check out The Sleuth! It's the Original Nancy Drew Fanzine - published 6 times per year. It's put together by members of the Nancy Drew Sleuths - an organization of scholars and collectors of Nancy Drew and other vintage series books. Articles focus on Nancy Drew, but we also feature several other vintage girls' and boys' series in each issue too.
