Every Treasure Has a Story

These Glass Wax Christmas stencils belong to that world of simple, hands-on holiday preparation. Their illustrated packages preserve the invitation as clearly as the designs: gather a few supplies, choose a favorite scene, and make something cheerful together.

Behind that domestic tradition stands a distinctly North Dakota story. Harold Schafer founded Gold Seal Company in 1942, building a business whose household brands reached far beyond Bismarck. His legacy also extends to the restoration and development of Medora, giving these modest packages a connection to a much larger chapter in the state’s history.

The stencil promotion itself grew from an inventive classroom idea. A schoolteacher told Schafer that her pupils were decorating windows with Glass Wax and cutout stencils; Gold Seal developed Christmas designs and launched a national campaign in 1956. When the stencils sold out before Christmas, Schafer encouraged customers to share theirs with neighbors.

That spirit of shared creativity feels especially fitting for the season. These were practical decorating tools, but their packaging also captures the visual language of the period: bold lettering, festive colors, and illustrations that make the project feel approachable.

The larger green package advertises 34 designs across 10 sheets, including an extended Nativity scene. Its smaller red companion offers four familiar holiday motifs and bears a 1969 copyright. Both retain their complete advertised contents, along with the original printed instructions.

Today, the envelopes themselves deserve a place in a collected Christmas display. Lean them beside holiday books, surround them with glass ornaments, or let the green illustrated cover bring a little color to a shelf of cream pottery and winter greenery.

Their edges show wear, and the paper has aged. That visible passage of time is part of what makes them meaningful: small survivors of a season that people made beautiful with their own hands.
