Author Topic: Sign Letters John Hegel Expert Film Handler Posts: 166 From: Lake Mills, Iowa Registered: Sep 2000 posted 01-02-2003 08:00 PM                        Does anyone know where I might be able to find used or new Adler letters? They have to be able to fit into a 6 7/8" track. Thanks for your help, John  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 01-02-2003 10:32 PM                        Check the back of Boxoffice Magazine. I think there is a ad in there for a company that sells sign letters. Sorry I dont have one handy at the moment.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Finally traced down the company that bought the molds for all the ADLER letters. They informed us that they had DESTROYED the molds as no one had ordered any and the molds took up too much space. Like anybody knew they had them? We did get some additional letters from a closed theatre in MIDLAND, MI where the circle theatre became bowling alleys and now a Rite Aid Drugstore. Most of the Butterfield theatres in Michigan used these letters and had the same style of new marquees. Try the League of Historic American Theatres as a source for your letters. Most of their members are aware of such items and their availability. KEN  |  IP: Logged
