I'm posting this for an acquaintance who just sold an old theatre and is clearing out all items. Most of it is dusty and worn, but there might be some cool fixtures or equipment you could use for parts. I've actually seen the Ashcroft lamp houses and they're nice looking!

Her email is: joan_koche@juno.com and she's in Derry, PA.

3 Other lobby doors. Very heavy wood. I think these are the original

2 Marquis covers with glass and 2 without glass. You know the big frames
that went on the outside of the theater and had glass to protect those
lovely posters from the weather.

addition to a room all the same.
Floor Grate 18" x 24" approx.
One Chandelier bases and one Complete Chandelier. Definitely depression
era. Made of pressed cardboard that is gilded and has cloth inlay that
the light shines through.

HERE IS A ONE OF A KIND....It appears to be the first air conditioning
unit ever manufactured by Norge. I couldn’t get enough light to it to
pull off numbers. Sorry.
3 - Film Cases Not sure of sizes. Two have reels in them and are in good
condition.
The smaller one does not have reels and is much older but is not in real
good condition. It is different too. It looks like it could hold six
reels, but five are running up and sown and the sixth is flat across and
under the other five. All hold six reels.

State Auto Candy Corp. Table/concession unit #2917 1 - Art Deco Lobby
Divider It’s got all of these open areas that you can see through and
could set nick-nacks on. Looks 40ish or 50ish to me.

know that they serve some theater related purpose.
2 - Maybe more tripod lobby stands.

gallon" imprinted in the glass. These held syrups. One jug has a double
handle on the top.
