Finally took some time for the plaques
Found acrylic plaques with a coat of gold metal and (IMO) looks great with the black vinyl letters
Probably will weather a bit the 1408 door room nbr
Next step: get 2 bigger plaques and make the hotel entrance and sign

The final result:

I don't think the thermostat is commercially available and may have been made for the movie built on another thermostat. Been googling thermostats for about an hour and find stuff in the art deco style, but nothing. Closest I found is a Schneider Electric. A couple of things to note is the model number on the bottom says SJK 3073. SJK looks like initials for Stephen King but the middle doesn't match and 3073 adds up to 13. Looks like it could be easily 3d pinting and put on to another thermostat.

Damnit. Thabks for all the hard work though.
Don't give up, might be out there somewhere. May try to reach out to some folks in the hvac industry, some of the older ones may have a better idea. The tricky part is nailing down a year for the decor, the engineer even said most of the stuff is super old. Could be as early as the 20s, possibly even up to the 70s and 80s.

Just some small piece of prosthetic skin from the guy in the air vent.

Did anyone else notice that since RafalFett put time and hard work into recreating the 1408 menu, and posted them publicly on here, some guy on ebay has listed a screen used 1408 menu with a certificate of authenticity, like a dozen times.. at 100 bucks a pop, getting a sale each time? Think it was late Feb I reported the seller to Ebay. Searches now aren't showing anything, and the seller has removed them from his items for sale, and past auction searches not showing a thing... sheesh.
Edit: Can anyone else find the past sales of that stuff. 99.99% sure it was Rafal's stuff.
Checking the past history just gives me this. Thankfully.
Just kind of sucks, thinking at least a dozen people purchased the item on ebay, thinking it was a screen used piece, especially at like 100 bucks each for the item. How can someone sell a "screen used" menu, from a film, that only 1 is seen on screen, 10 times +, and people still paid buying it.

I think that's normal. I've bought stuff and had it pulled after I bought it, and it lists the word description in my "bought" list, but clicking on it goes no where. It won't even show the listing that was present when I bought it. Totally vanishing is a sign (I believe) of eBay pulling the sale, not the seller.

Now that you mention it. That does sound familiar. I never made the connection, and also didn't believe the seller.
