[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9438680, member: 8267"]You can test for steel by using a magnet. I asked about the size because it might be a copper plate. There has been a limited tradition of painting on copper, though I would not expect it to be common in the 19th century. A small size would make this possibility a little more likely. I think you are going to have to find an expert on Gorbitz to see if anyone has documented his technique.[/QUOTE]
