SOLD GROUND PLAN: Early 20th C. Paper Thin Brass Surveyors/Architects Stencil vintage bread board but this one struck me

but this one struck me as both unusual and excellent looking (and also rather phallic

and this done-up beauty

and it doesn't seem like the wheels were ever fully round

I understand from the seller I purchased this from that the artist was an employee at the Bedford National Bank in Bedford

with no loss of layers

SOLD GROUND PLAN: Early 20th C. Paper Thin Brass Surveyors/Architects Stencil vintage bread board but this one struck meI find these old brass surveyors architects stencils so beautiful paper thin, finely made, and really shining rather like liquid gold in the light. I purchased a lot of them from a seller in England, and have broken them up into smaller thematic groups. These would have been used to annotate blueprints architectural renderings, but as a lover of found language I like them as small, evocative signs of sorts, which could be interesting in all sorts
