X-RATED BOARD DISPLAY FOR SALE

 70s Unique Display Collectible from New York’s Times Square!

As the Triple XXX movie and video houses began to be closed down, my wife and I started to collect signage from the theatre fronts. The Venus, The Eros, The Caprice on 8 th Avenue. The New David on 52 nd Street.

One of the most famous and last to go was The Circus Cinema. This garish red and yellow dinosaur, hangover from Time Square’s seedier days, was the most in-your-face survivor of its time. Many were the tourist parents who shielded the eyes of their young children as they strolled down Broadway towards Times Square.

In the end it was reduced to rubble to make way for magician David Copperfield’s restaurant/theatre. This project was shelved halfway to completion when the money ran out, and the new building now holds a Cuban-themed restaurant.

That leaves this self-contained portion of the front of house as the last vestige of this famed theatre venue, and a unique piece of New York architectural history.

Rescued from the builder’s chainsaws, it is now resident in London and available to purchase.

£12,000, buyer to arrange shipping.
