Gotham City Hall sign prop

Post by rsaffle »

I found an auction that happened a couple years ago for a sign that they say was used in the 66 series.
Just curious...Does anybody recognize this from the show?

The only time I can think of the back entrance being shown was "The Joker's Hard Times" from the Zodiac Crimes. Didn't look like that.
I'll see if I can remember more scenes.

There looks like there might be a sign near the door from "Zelda the Great" but the shape isn't the same anyways.

Found it!!!
It's just a close up shot of the sign only that was used in "Tut's Case is Shut."

The establishing shot has different signs.

“Veddy interesting.”

“Fascinating.”

And other appropriate 1960s TV show expressions!

Quite a nice acquisition for whoever purchased it. I saw it sold for $3520 - SEVEN TIMES it’s high estimate!

Great Scott!
Wait, I don't want to reference a Superman quote on a Batman site. lol

Sorry to keep you up but you're also welcome for getting another reason to do a deep dive. I had my doubts that it was real.

You guys know everything!
