I could tell you all about the great design of the Chicago flag. About how each star means something, how each of the six points of each star mean something, and how the bars mean something. But I won’t. (Read about it here.)

Instead, I'll just tell you I had a college roommate from Illinois and when I went to his wedding I visited the city for the first time. And I loved it. And I just about moved there after grad school. But Boston called at my heart even more.

One night when I was having drinks with a Boston firefighter, and he had a tattoo of the Chicago flag. I asked him about it, he told me he was from Chicago, and he got the stars to help guide him home one day.

So here’s one to guide you home, too.

What goes into an Old Try letterpress print?

Love. History. Cut hands. And a little bit of cussing.

DISPLAY TYPE

Wooden & Worn

We have drawers of 100+ year old wooden (and lead) display type. It has been used to print rodeo posters and labor union broadsides and newspapers. It has aged like a champ - picking up dents and dings that give the characters character.

HAND-CARVED GRAPHICS

Linoleum & Magnesium

Each color gets a plate. And 95% of those plates are carved by hand. Some have fine line work (or just obnoxious repeating elements the designer insists on) and those get machined. It isn’t quick or cheap or easy, and that’s just how we like it.

Happy Customers

★★★★★
Beautiful design & high quality

Received this as a gift, and I'm thrilled with it. I'm proud to be able to hang something that represents my state well, and the design looks simply fantastic. High quality, to the point that I purchased another Old Try print when I saw how good it looked. Would recommend.
