$31.21

Awesome large vintage 1940/50s cinema marquee letter U coated cast aluminium and perspex
Stunning large cinema marquee letter/number thought to be from around the 1940s. Outer shape is made from cast aluminium and then coated with plastic and the inner is made fromblack perspex. Very rare for UK as most are in the US.
This sale is for the letter U.Size is large at 41cm/16\" high.
This is a vintage item that has been exposed to the elements so bears the marks of time. The perspex has scratches and the outer plastic has the odd nick and mark here and there. All of this simply adds character though so only mentioned for completeness and to ensure buyers are not expecting new pristine items.Reverse has corroded screws that do not show.
I have stripped one of the other letters and it polishes nicely so easy to do the same if you prefer a metal finish. See letter N in the photos.The Z in the photos shows what they look like without the perspex. You can change the colour of the perspex if you prefer.
The pictures tell the story and I have highlighted any major flaws with additional photos.Photos tell the story so please use this as a basis of condition. More photos available if required.
