Label TextThis stencil tracing portfolio came from St. James-Westminster Church. The drawings and motifs on the stencil paper could be easily reproduced on church publications, allowing for a great deal of customization. These accessories were used for reproducing newsletters and notices without having to rely on an outside printer. Gestetner duplicating and stencil products were popular with churches, schools, organizations, and offices. They had an office in London at 465 Richmond Street, now Talbot Centre, in the 1960's. The company had a wide range of products including ink rollers, stencil paper, stamps, and tracing tools.
