This vintage letterpress printing block features a detailed ingredient list for a candy product, beginning with pure milk chocolate, sugar, corn syrup, and milk—the telltale signs of something sweet and delicious!

The block is made of wood with a metal face, and measures approximately 4 1/4" x 2" x 3/4". The text is tightly packed and neatly laid out in small type, likely designed for a candy wrapper or box label from mid-20th century commercial packaging.

These types of ingredient blocks were used in commercial printing houses to mass-produce packaging for food products before digital printing took over. It’s a fascinating peek into both printing history and vintage food manufacturing.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light wear from age and use. Some ink residue may remain from past use, adding to its authentic charm.

Whether you're a collector of letterpress ephemera, a lover of vintage packaging design, or someone who just enjoys unique relics of the past, this candy ingredient block is a sweet slice of history.
