A hundred years ago, Marie Oliver made a paper flag for Missouri and her paper flag was beautiful.

In that flag was a bear, to represent the strength and bravery of the Missourians. And a crescent moon, to symbolize the huge potential of the new small state. The hope. The courage. The future of a home carved out from the Louisiana Purchase. Shame that Oliver’s paper flag burned just three years later in a fire in the Capitol building. We couldn’t do the full thing justice, but thought we’d take some bits and make a print. A new paper flag for Missouri.

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.

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.
