Creamy White Painted Vintage Metal Channel Letter "U" bottle carrier A little thingAs far as letters go, U is a pretty good one, standing in for "you" and also making a nice rounded arch when flipped upside down. And nice creamy white paint on this metal one, too, which I'd just treat as a found sculpture and set on the shelf. 12" t x 8 5 8" w x 2 1 16" d (letter); 4" deep including attached screws. Good condition, structurally great, plenty of wear to the surface as evident, all to the good I think.
