This Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show sign is the very sign that hung at Desilu Studios when they shot the final season of I Love Lucy. The most popular show in television history, this is the only decent representation of memorabilia we have seen from that classic of classics. A significant 48x25x2", it is double-sided. Each side is painted with the magnificent title of the show. In beautiful pastels, it is all on heavy wood where it hung on the ceiling. It is in very good condition with a tiny amount of paint loss. Purchased at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Los Angeles in 1983 for $60, it is one of the great finds in collectibles history. A fresh piece, it has only had two owners since then, and is one of the classic pieces of television memorabilia.
