F.W. Woolworth Co. ,

Ballard, \1698/

\Seattle,/ Wash.

2228 Market St. 

This stencil is in really good condition for its age as it has not been used/inked other then for what I believe is the store number. Edges are ever to slightly worn from storage. Front is not inked except for the number \1698/.  All the stencil lettering is crisp, intact and easy to read. Since this stencil is one of the taller ones, the lid of the storage box made a slight fold about an inch from the top edge, that I have highlighted in the pictures with the red arrow. My guess is this particular stencil was a replacement for one that was heavily used. 

*$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!
