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."
