avigo Posted September 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2018 Hey guys. Just curious what the standard stencil letter size in WWII was for stenciling personal effects. It seems like it is either 1/2" or 3/4". Also, what brand of stencil machine was most common? I'm guessing either Marsh or Diagraph. Looking to get a stencil machine and want to get one that is accurate to a military use machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avigo Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted January 7, 2019 Thanks again. That helps a lot. For some reason I thought it was 1/2" Any idea which machines they used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
