Ft. Fairfield, Maine

This stencil is in fair condition for its age. Edges are worn from use and storage. There is damage to the right edge, a small tear and a finger sized indent, plus a scratch across the top right corner as seen highlighted in the pictures with the ruler and little red arrow. The bottom edge has a \"wave\" which makes not sit flush on the table. Front is pretty heavily inked with signs of brush strokes throughout the inked area. As seen in all of the photos and up close in pictures with the red arrow, the street address number has been double stenciled. I can\'t tell if it reads 141 or 166. There also looks to be a period stenciled in the bottom left of the E in Maine. (Shown in close up photo). On the back is the handwritten date 6/9/32.

*$2 bill is for size reference and is not included in the sale.

Summary: I just acquired 2 large long file, wooden boxes of address stencils, seemingly every F W Woolworth address and lots of other local department stores and Five & Dimes from USA and Canada locations. From a factory in Pennsylvania.
The seller said it was from a cast iron toy manufacturer, and it was confirmed that the stencils came from The Dent Hardware Co. in Fullerton, PA.
Use to create multiple of your own local collectibles, or would look great framed, in a collection which we have an example of in the pictures. Some of our buyers use them for woodworking projects or unique gifts. The possibilities are endless.
If you are looking for a specific Woolworth\'s or 5 and Dime type store in a certain city/town I probably have it. Let me know as I have spreadsheeted and mapped most of the stencils we have. We also support small local businesses so if you are an antique or shop owner and want to buy multiple stencils we will make a lot for you at a discounted rate. Thank you for looking!
