Early 20th C. Paper Thin Brass Surveyors/Architects Stencils - Set # Four morn but I do believe these

but I do believe these are likely not too much older than the pocket frame

lined in orange fabric

What I love most are the drawings on the inside covers- two crude smiling faces at front

with the more detailed windows

were used to store ingredients used for betel chewing

Early 20th C. Paper Thin Brass Surveyors/Architects Stencils - Set # Four morn but I do believe theseI 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
