Description: Only One for This Location. If you Looking for Another Store or Area Feel Free to Ask! F.W. Woolworth Co. , 1836 Centre St.\1865/ West Roxbury, Mass. This stencil is in "ok" condition for its age. Edges are worn from use and storage. From sitting in the storage box improperly for all these decades there is a slight curve to the entire stencil and it does not sit flush with the table.Front is pretty heavily inked with signs of brush strokes mostly around the outer edges of the inked area. As shown in pictures with the red arrow, the \ before "1865" is overlapping the T and period in "St.". Also shown is the other / is slightly punched off the right edge. On the back is the handwritten date 8/28/31. From age and use the oil board has lost its rigidness and has become "floppy" which I have tried to capture in a photo. Still lots of life left in this piece. *$2 bill is for size reference and is not included in the sale. We also made a map that you can zoom into locations we have in your area. www.pinmaps.net/maps/gbradford29 Answers to Questions We get on These: 1) Material is a Sturdy Oil Board. 2) There is an inky scent to some of the heavier used stencils.

When buying multiple please wait for an invoice before paying. 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!
