These were salvaged from a long gone hardtop theater, obviously used on their marquee. Again, 58 letters in all, all in good shape(none broken) and I am selling the lot for $1100 plus shipping(unless buyer wants to pick up or I could possibly deliver myself if not too far away from me…I am located in Illinois).
Interested parties can email me at .

$1100? I sincerely hope that’s a typo.
Sorry, Brian…new Gemini 12" cast aluminum letters run close to 3x this price…these are really aimed at those older hardtops with marquees designed for the Adler silhouette letter “hook” design. This style is no longer made as the company is no longer in business; so, while they may be antiques, I don’t believe I possess gold…but I am not going to give them away, either. But I will consider the best offer. Thanks for asking. Bloo
Yeah, you’re right, that is a reasonable price now that I look at it. Apologies.
Cripes, we’ve a huge pile of these letters in the basement of my theater. Looks like it’s time to sell them if they fetch that much!
Ian: They ain’t doing you any good in that basement. Get ‘em out and on to some theatre that can put them to use!
Back in 2001, when I was associated with the MURRAY THEATRE in Salt Lake City, it was a church where I was on the show production side of things. I helped restore the marquee and we had the same type of lettering. There is about 150 plus letters AND numbers upstairs in the projection room… but sadly, that lovely theater is “dark”.
I have a bunch of 8" high Adler letters available, all letters of the alphabet, some numbers and various other symbols. All have original paint and in pretty good condition. If a smaller size works for you…
I am looking for 8" high Adler letters.
I have found 15 more letters…but that is it [i’m done cleaning out the basement :)]and so that brings the total to 73 letters, still selling for the same price, $1100, but I will include shipping. The additional letters are:
3) B
4) C
3) D
1) H
2) I
1) J
1) S
Thanks!
