This copper stencil plate reading "BEST WISHES FOR SUCCESS / FROM / CAN DO, INC." was found in the workshop of C. Edgar Patience. Metal loops protrude from the copper plate to form the interior floating portions of the letters. Two small rectangular pieces of copper sheeting extend from each bottom corner of the stencil. A circular piece of fiberboard is screwed to the center bottom of the stencil plate.
