I inherited some of these old lead typesetting blocks from a relative who had a print shop.

Some are easy to figure, like a Christmas tree or a cow. Some are very hard. Like this one. It looks like a guy driving a truck or tractor with logs on it, coming to a depot of some sort. (Or is he on water?) Or is the "depot" part of the vehicle?

Anyone see something else here? Points for the reply that seems most logical!

  1. It is a bulldozer they used years ago to move the logs the trailer also has tracks. Here is a pic.

  2. the "depot" is the business part of the tractor. picture a small locomotive engine with traction treads like a military tank or old-time bulldozer.

    interesting find...

  3. There isn't a building next to the track veh.

  4. It's definitely a guy driving a logging tractor.

  5. the part on the upper right that looks like a building is part of the bulldozer he is usin to skid the logs with. looks like the engine and radiater area to me. pretty cool.
