Default printing block

I found this printing box in a central NY antique shop a couple weeks ago,
When I saw it, my guess was it was for some instruction manual. The antique shop is about in the middle between Ilion, Fulton and Ithaca, and toss in the Utica made Foxes just a little farther for good measure

but yesterday, looking at a Parker hang tag on another site I was struck by the similarity. I see one subtle difference in the location of the tab that pushes the automatic bar but the numbers/letters are the same. This block's image is about 4 1/2 by 2 inches. Its a little worn, and since I am inking and pressing it by hand the image is not as sharp as it could be (that is, if done by someone who knows what the heck they are doing )


Any thoughts?

I haven't been through the Parker book yet to see if there are variations. and have never had a hang tag in hand for size comparison.
