Description: Only One for This Location. If you Looking for Another Store or Area Feel Free to Ask! F.W. Woolworth Co. 3140 W. 22nd St.\1822/ Chicago, ILL. This stencil is in good condition for its age. Edges are worn from use and storage. From sitting improperly in the storage box for all these decades the entire stencil has a slight curve and does not sit flush on the table. Front is pretty heavily inked with signs of brush strokes slightly throughout but mostly around the outer edges of the inked area. All the stencil lettering is intact and easy to read. I have highlighted in the picture with the red arrow, the number \1822/ (which I believe is the store number). On the left hand side a period is overlapping the \ and on the right side the / is punched off the right hand edge of the stencil. On the back is the handwritten date 1/28/32. *$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 an inky scent to some of the heavier used stencils. If you are sensitive to some smells, please keep this in mind. 3) There is only one of each location. Winner will be the only person to own the stencil for that address. 4) Dimensions seem to be an average of 5 inches x 16 inches. Please see photo for the exact dimensions of each individual stencil. $4.75 Flat Rate Shipping for addresses in the USA (Average cost of eBay Shipping Label with Postage). We DO combine Shipping! When buying multiple please wait for an invoice before paying. 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!
