    This sign is made of Mylar.
    It measures 23 inches wide by 22 feet long.
    This sign was for the SMEE cars of the IRT subway, which were built in 1955 - 1964.   This sign section came direct from the sign shop & was probably never used.
    These trains primarily served on the numbered Lines.
    Each car had two "signboxes" on each side of the car. Each signbox housed 3 rollsigns. This was from the middle aka 'the lower destinations".
    This sign section measures 23" wide by 22' long.
    Please carefully review the photos.
    Great for bar or restaurant, dorm room, den, etc.  Makes a unique gift that you can't buy at Sears or Target, or Restoration Hardware. Truly a museum quality antique.  Own a piece of New York history!
    Item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail within the USA.  Foreign buyers will be charged actual shipping charges. Please see our other auctions for more great NY subway memorabilia.
    Thank you for looking and good luck!
