I thought there was an old thread featuring cut down signs, broken lenses, re-purposed items, etc. but I can't locate it. Post pictures of anything in your collection or you have seen.
This Socony sign was cut down back in the day and used for backing in a picture frame.

I have no idea why they would cut up such a cool sign but oh well,,, probably the only way I'll ever be able to afford one with the prices on these!
Painful but great thread!!

This thread has a few cut, bent and mutilated signs in it.

Found this inside my Clear vision 203 covering the back access hole. Pleasant surprise to say the least.
