Wood block with zinc plate attached to front. Front: It has the word "THRILLCADE" raised in relief from the base of the plate at the top. The word "DAREDEVILS" is also raised on the bottom of the face. In the middle is a vague outline of an elephant. The elephant's headdress is visible as well as the saddle on its back. To the left of the elephant is a speech bubble that goes all the way down to the "L" in "DAREDEVILS". The speech bubble stretches from the "S" to the "V". Beside it (to the right) are 2 raised stars. The zinc plate is nailed into the wood block. Back: there is lots of writing on the back. Handwritten sideways below the middle in the center of the block is "Mounting by Regina Engraving @ 2.15 each. 10% Discount on work." To the right of this there is a long vertical line of addition of numbers.
