Picked up an old printing block left over from the Mobile Press Register at a flea market in 1997. It's most of a map of Mobile Alabama.
Now days newspapers use offset printing and these things aren't used anymore. People collect these blocks. I just used this one piece for a paper weight when I was working. Now it just collects dust...as you can see if you look closely.
Here is one site that sells such stuff:
