The sign that has hung over the canyons of LaLa Land since 1923 defines the state of mind that is Hollywood -- so tantalyzing yet so out of reach. Just imagine owning a piece of this Americana icon. This 7 x 7" square was cut from the sign when it was torn down in 1978. Not only will it transfer its mythical properties to your living room or den, you may even see the images of Rudolph Valentino or the voice of Bette Davis spilling from it. The one of a kind piece of history was actually cut from the "H", as verified by the graffiti and other markings on it and comes preserved in as great display with a photo of the section it was from and shots of the fence being torn down, as well as a brief history. The piece is metal with white paint that, like Hollywood, has seen better days, yet the magic is undeniable. It has been authenticated by PSA/DNA, whose sticker is affixed to the back. For collectors and investors alike this piece has added signifigance because this was the first piece cut from the very first letter.
