The blocks had been used to print catalogs for a firm which distributed party favors and decorations for festivals, wedding receptions, birthday parties and various other celebrations.

Blaul Distributing was in business in Burlington, Iowa from the 1800s to the mid 1990s. They distributed groceries, spices, cigars, teas, soaps and household goods to area grocery stores. In the process, they also printed up their own sale bills. This is a copper printer's block from that operation. Remember the paper holders they used in meat markets?
