Ideal No.1

IDEAL stencil machines were produced from 1913 to around 2002. The design of the Vtg Stencil Ideal No.1 was drawn from genuine 1 inch Ideal No.1 stencil machine (circa 1920s). Like stencil machines from other companies, Ideal stencil machines found extensive use in the US Army during significant conflicts such as World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. In later years, models with Cyrillic letters were added for 7/16, 5/8, 1 and 2 inch stencil sizes.
