Anecdote
I bought this stencil when I was in my late teens, to use for making games. It was only of limited use, because it was a fixed size (fairly small) and didn't include country borders. Also, I was hoping they'd bring one out for the eastern Mediterranean but they didn't. In the end, it was more convenient to trace maps from my atlas.
It has East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia on it, so is somewhat out of date now. On the one hand, I ought to put it in the recycle bin because I haven't used it for 45 years and it's a breeze to obtain scalable maps from the Internet now if I need one.
On the other hand, it's a relic of the past.
Hmm, so a bit like me then.
