I've still got one of them, too.  I don't know what they made it out of,
but even after twenty years it still pongs like it was dipped in vomit.
Thanks to that, I rarely used it.  And it was generally quicker just to
sketch by had without fiddling with the stencil.

Me either, but I still draw most of my things free hand (generally
electronics, these days), and put up with the wavy lines and
non-grid-aligned layout.  Ahh the fun of making circuit boards that ICs
had to go into, hand drawn using a Dalo pen, with the holes drilled
using a hand drill...   Hmm, it doesn't quite fit...
