G'day, as your fellow Aussie members say. Welcome to the forum. I don't find any mention of a Franklin Imperial USA on Horn-u-copia, the best site for that sort of info and haven't heard of it myself. There were so many stencils made for certain retailers by manufacturers over many years, it seems impossible to track and categorize them all. Could you post some photos for us to get some design clues? Need to transfer from an off-site storage area, like photobucket or Flickr, etc. Maybe you know some background on the horn's former life?
