    Re: Printing Blocks.

    Hi there , sorry about the late reply..
    Three of the packages I can only make out certain letters or words as the rest has disappeared over the years but, but this is what it shows / reads on each one.

    1. (no name)just reads 10 Mason St

    2. James ? 55 Well St

    3. Hugh Davis. Fountain St

    Sorry this is all I can give you. but thanks again for your help ! the other information is great as this will go along way to adding to the project.
