Found this DDR-made stationary item(Used in engineering drawing), but I haven’t been able to identify the manufacturer(something with “M”, I guess?).

  1. I found this stationery item, which is part of a set(I believe it is 100% complete), which also contains other stencils which can be used for drawing(“ELEKTRO”, “SCHWEISSZEICHEN”, “TRICON”, and “SCHIEBEECK” are the words written on some of the stencils).All of them are obviously over 32 years old, as they were made in DDR.

  2. The word you’re looking for is “stencil”.

    Fortunately, since this is East Germany, there aren’t many companies. That logo is of VEB Mantissa — “VEB” stands for “Volkseigener Betrieb” = “publicly-owned enterprise”, meaning in fact “state-owned company”.

    VEB Mantissa was famous for its slide rules as well as its stencils, some with serious applications and others for artists, hobbyists, children, etc.
