Purchased this Glass marquee from fellow klover Spacebaby because I've heard that a very small amount of early Glass marquees were done before switching to the commonly known plexi...when I got this thing I was surprised to see how amazing the condition was on this thing..just a few very small blemishes..nothing to worry about and in nice enough condition to display.
So who knows any history on the glass production run on these...to my knowledge no repros were done on glass that I know of and this one looks original..definitely not a repro...wondering how rare these are...
Spacebaby said he actually got this from a Pacman cab from an auction..so maybe some early kits had the glass marquee...or maybe a pac cab on location was converted using an original Ms Pac marquee as opposed to having to swap the entire cabs too ...who knows..Here are some shots of the marquee...no comparison to Plexiglas IMO on these pieces..unfortunately Plexi tends to hold up better in terms of paint deterioration.
