Hi,
We live on a corner lot, and our house faces the street that isn't the street address. People often drive by our house looking for it. So we have put a bolder in the corner of our property facing the intersection. currently only has our house number on it. I would like to add the street name to it. The house number on them are currently ~ 5-6" black color. Looking for alphabets that are 2-3" plastic or metal but in black color.
Anyone know where i can find something like this in GTA?

Home Depot, Rona, Canadian Tire. I have seen them at all those places. Sometimes out of stock on a specific letter but they get it in.

I checked all those out already.You are referring to the type that has a gold backing with black letter, liek a sticker right? I am looking for something that is not a sticker...

No, they had plastic letters and numbers and some metal ones. I got plastic ones about 3 inches (5 cms) high with screw holes top and bottom. Got them at Home Depot because they were cheapest there.

You could always call a sign shop or metalsmith and see what they would charge to make you letters. That way you could pick the font, size, colour you want too.

How about Restoration Hardware, there is one at Bayview Village. They have this one on-line as an example.
