Collection of Approximately 40 Steel Letters

About the Item

Heavy hand cut steel numbers, and letters salvaged from a defunct resort in the Poconos ca 1950. Great to use as a graphic element, or rearrange to spell what ever is possible. The capitol "P"'s have heart attached, I believe the motel was sort of a "Love Nest"... The owner told me Frank Sinatra was a regular. The capitol "S" measures 18.5"- H x 10"- W x 2.75" projection, to gauge the relative scale. This are heavy and solid, they attach with the nails projecting from the back. 42 pcs. total including some numbers (1's) and two periods.
