Anyone know what this is? A printing plate? (pics)

Anyone know? It looks to be about 6x4in (approx 1/8 thick maybe 3/32) and like a printing plate. Anyone have any specifics on this?

It looks like a printing plate. Do you have any specifices on it? How big? Is it thick metal (2-3mm+) with angled edges or very think aluminum/metal plate. This would help determine lithography vs. etching.

Zinc plate, photsensative surface.

technically the process is lumped under the catch-all "intaglio"

It's 6 1/4 tall by 5 5/16 wide and it's 1/16 thick

It seems to be made out of steel as it's fairly heavy.

Thanks for the info. Are we sure that this is what the process is though? I just want to make sure 😉 It looks to be right though.
