I found the indians that sat atop the Redskin Theater in Oklahoma City on a Craigslist ad in Denver/Longmont, CO. I think some of their facts about the theater might not be quite accurate. It reads:
Antique neon theater sign – $20000 (Longmont)

The Redskin Theater in Oklahoma City was built in the 1940s and closed in the early 1950s. On top of their sign were two groups of three Indians armed with spears, tomahawks, etc. The groupings are painted metal and neon signs which are mirror images of each other (thus, the groups looked identical, though reversed, whichever direction the theater was seen from). Each group is 81" X 56", though dimensions are variable. Some neon tubing was broken in transit and needs repair. Price is less than I paid for it to a West Des Moines gallery that went out of business (this was the signature piece for the gallery) though I would consider a reasonable offer. To see the signs in their original placement, google “Redskin Theater, Oklahoma City”. Downsizing for retirement and can’t keep. They are wonderful just as painted signs if you want to forego the neon repair required. All new ballasts and transformers for fire safety reasons.
I grew up in OKC in the 60s. I remember the marquee quite vividly.
