This isn't really TTY-related (but rather amateur radio), nor is it
even Teletypesetter/Linotype-related (but rather amateur tabletop
printing; worlds away from a Linotype), but I thought some here might
find it interesting.  It is what appears to be either an advertisement
for the Adana brand of tabletop printing press as a part of a
fictitious QSL card or, perhaps, a real QSL card which for reasons
undetermined also includes an Adana press ad.  It was acquired by a
member of the LETPRESS letterpress printing mailing list, who posted
an image of it at:

Another member of LETPRESS identified the years of issue of the
call sign as 1937/1938.  This would fit within the dates of
manufacture for the press.
