Description
Stencil for creating identification tag on grain sacks. It is 8 inches long and 3 inches wide, with clipped corners, made of tin and painted black. It has the letters A. K. G. The stencil was used on grain sacks when there were threshing rigs going from farm to farm. Without proper identification, grain sacks were apt to get mixed among neighbors. This stencil was used by A. K. Gandrud.Related People and Organizations
