A piece of history, part two: Get yours
Add comment November 8th, 2008
I, like others, saved a few extra copies of the Wednesday Register Star, which declares “Obama wins” in this historic 2008 presidential election.
I wondered who ended up with the original plate that went on the press (the photo above shows the page on the press’ computer, taken with my camera phone). I never found out, but now I learned that I can buy my own Obama plate (to put next to the films I saved from the 2000 Bush election newspapers; we used to need film to make a plate back then).
Order your press plate for $19.95 at 815-987-1400.
Or order your full-color page reprint for $27Â here. You also can make it into a T-shirt or mousepad. Note: There’s a 15 percent discount in November.
