PLEASE SEE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION for an interesting read. Provenance: From the estate of actor Jack Haley, best known for his role as the Tin Man in the Wizard of OZ - According to family members, Haley was a huge opera fan and this record hung in his home office for decades. After his death in 1979, his daughter moved back into her father's house where she lived until her passing last year. Obtained directly from her Beverly Hills estate sale which was held last year. If you're an opera fan or sign collector or an RCA Nipper fan, you won't find a more unique display item for your collection. Original double-sided metal and porcelain record store display sign measures a large 28 inches across.

This is made of solid steel rather than cheap tin. No flex in the slightest whatsoever, not even if you try, which I did.

Double-sided with same image on each side which allowed it to hung by wires read more
