This is a cool piece of pre-MAD Magazine memorabilia. Probably produced in the 1930's, this item is the original printer's block for an early Alfred E. Neuman poster. This item is pictured next to a pre-MAD "What - Me Worry" paperboard poster (not included), and an actual print (in red ink) made from the block. There appears to be no size difference between the image in the WMW poster and the "red ink" image. The block itself measures approx. 4 3/4" by 6 3/4", with an image size of approx. 4 1/2" by 6 1/2".
