    Marquee letters wanted

    We are seeking 17" Red Wagner plastic marquee letters. Our large marquee on a 1935 small town theatre is designed for Wagner letters only. We try to keep everything authentic. But Wagner has apparently discontinued the 17" Reds. We have Zip-a-tone flat letters to trade. We don’t use these and have boxes and boxes in several sizes. Also have some Wagner 10" and 17" to trade. Also have 1935 Heywood Wakefield deco seats with chrome back outline and deco velvet fabric.
    Please .
