I find these old brass surveyors/architects stencils so beautiful--paper thin, finely made, and 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 contexts, including as labels for different parts of one's home!
Sold as set of three. Approx 5 7/8" x 2 5/8" ea. Very good condition. earlyish 20th c.
