Stencil-Art on the Farm 1949 children’s activity book VG to Ex arts & crafts

Description

A real find! An activity book called Stencil-Art on the Farm. It measures 10.75 inches by 6.5 inches. A crafts book from the late 1940s.
It is copyright 1949 by Arthur R. Krenz from Stencil-Art Publishing Company from Bedford, Ohio. and the pages are attached on a plastic ring.
This children’s art book is 72 years old. I would set the condition at very good to excellent. There is a slight mustiness that could be aired out.
Please note that most of the image pieces are punched out, as they should be, to allow tracing.
This I am auctioning off a collection of vintage items for a friend. Her mother was originally a coal miner’s daughter from Kentucky but she found love with a man from Boston. They lived in Framingham, MA together for several decades. Her husband died two years ago but she soldiered on. However, during a Northeaster last fall of 2020, a tree fell on their 1950s ranch house. This meant that she had to move out quickly for safety’s sake.
This woman is now safe in a new home. But she is forced to sell off all the magazines she has been saving – one could say hoarding -- since the 1950s. She has been a very committed collector and has lots of great magazines that span five decades.
I am selling this huge array of magazines in lots to speed the process. They will be grouped according to category. Please note that these magazines reflect normal loving use and that means modest edge wear. Some have a slightly musty odor that can be remedied by a couple of days of airing out. Sometimes it also means pen or pencil writing on certain pages. Please note that I am not listing every possible flaw in these magazines, for the sake of moving them out quickly.
Please see my other auctions featuring books and magazines from the collection of the Kentucky coal miner’s daughter who moved to Framingham, MA.
Once again, I have been an eBay seller since 1998 -- yep, 23 years -- and I have 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence.
