A beautiful and complete (3/4 have pen tips) vintage set of Ahrend’s Schabloon drafting stencils from the No. 1960 series, made in the Netherlands. This well-preserved collection includes four stencil sizes: 1960/10, 1960/7, 1960/4 and 1960/2.5, each in its original box, along with matching vintage lettering tools (pen holders).
Designed for precise technical lettering in engineering or architecture, these stencils feature uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, symbols and formulas. They're not only functional, but also aesthetically striking – perfect for collectors, retro stationery enthusiasts, or as a decorative display piece for a creative studio.
The boxes and stencils show minimal signs of age and handling, consistent with vintage items, and the green plastic templates have a beautiful mid-century modern appeal. The original holders are in excellent condition with iconic transparent green barrels and metal grips.
Warmly lit and photographed on vintage patterned wool to highlight their nostalgic charm – these are both functional tools and timeless design objects.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
