Yosemite Sam Vintage Traditional Tattoo Acetate Stencil from Bert Grimm's Shop The lid of the caseThis vintage traditional tattoo acetate stencil comes from the estate of old school tattoo artist Col. William L. Todd who worked alongside partner Bob Shaw at the world famous Bert Grimm's Tattoo Studio at Nu Pike in Long Beach California starting in 1973. This hand etched stencil is one of a kind. It was acquired from Col. Todd's son, Larry, from his personal collection of his father's effects from Bert Grimm's shop. Please see the attached letter
