[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9577197, member: 84"]I posted this here a while ago & I tried to find it again but I can't so I apologize for posting again but I think I found something new. When I first posted it I don't think anyone could find info on it, but I think Debora(?) was able to find that the printer was German and only in business during the mid 1800s (or 1700s?) Not too long ago I found this image that closely matches mine ([URL='https://digital.fandm.edu/object/scholars-square1339']Drawing [Design] entitled "Die herabfunfe de Konigsallers" | Digital Collections (fandm.edu[/URL] ) That came from this home page that describes the collection (I copied description from website below the link) ([URL='https://digital.fandm.edu/collections/pennsylvania-german-fraktur-collection']Pennsylvania German Fraktur Collection | Digital Collections (fandm.edu)[/URL] [SIZE=6][B]Pennsylvania German Fraktur Collection[/B][/SIZE] Description A component of the German American Imprint Collection, this collection contains fine examples of printed and hand-colored taufscheins (birth and baptismal certificates), vorshrifts (writing examples), haus segens (house blessings), bucherzeichen (book plates), and drawings created by Pennsylvania Germans.

Thank you for any help!
