y To the facepof the lining 'I apply metallic foil of thev sunken in its face, and I construct the counter-die therefrom by taking layers of pasteboard or other suitable material, which will receive and retain im- The object of the backing .s

z colors.

Vhat l clairn'as new, and desire to secure bylfj pressions, and subject the same to a series of i'mpresv sions with the die', until the sunken parts of thedl'e are fully formed thereon in relief, thereby producing a counter-die `of an elastic character and atl small cost.

I use the embossing-dies also. in connection with the ordinary plain type or blocks forv printing names or ornaments upon the hat-lining, and in the-present example I have combined the embossed impression with a plain printed border, C, which is arranged around the embossed ornaments.

The embossed portions ofthe design consist in this example of the ring Dand of the female bust E.
