The revolving stencil disc of New York Stencil Works, an early model for the US Roman design.
About
Eugene L. Tarbox patented the revolving stencil plate in 1868 and it stayed a common American tool into the mid 1920s. Regular is a clean drawing with a full Latin set, stencil ornaments and tabular figures, while Paint comes from truly stencilled letters and holds only what the disc carried. The shapes track the bold Clarendon that Thorowgood published in 1845, which puts them earlier in the story than the Reese's kits behind US No.2.
Classification
Taken from a New York Stencil Works revolving disc, so the letters follow Thorowgood's 1845 Clarendon more closely than the later interlocking kits do.
