Description: Only One for This Location. If you Looking for Another Store or Area Feel Free to Ask! F.W. Woolworth & Co. 820 Indiana Ave./ 966 Wichita Falls. Texas. This stencil is in good condition for its age. Edges are worn from use and storage. Front is pretty heavily inked with signs of brush strokes around the outer edges of the inked area. As seen in most of the pictures and highlighted in the ones with the red arrow, there is patch under the address number either from an address change or a mistake by the stencil maker. It looks like it used to read 725 and now reads 820. I have also taken a close up where the stencilmaker went to punch some stencil letters but they did not punch all the way through the oil board. On the back is the handwritten date 5/9/34 and the number 966 written along the bottom edge boldly in ink. I believe 966 is the store number. *$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 only one of each location.

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!
