Another Beautiful Antique Brass Stencil Wheel, Allen Bros., 1868-1871 Patent star shaped done in late 1940sI keep scooping up these antique stencil wheels whenever I come across them as I think they're just fantastic things. This is a very early one, with 1868 and 1871 patent dates (stamped on the face not once but twice) as well as a stamp for Allen Bros. Boston, MA, who would have been the distributor.
