Cheers hero sign

I'm about to embark on a replica build of the Cheers sign as seen on the show between scenes. It won't be to scale but I'm going to try to make it as accurate as possible. I've got a spot in my studio for it and I'm thinking I'll be able to get it pretty close to 1:1. I'm not having tons of luck finding source material and I'm curious if anybody has any information about that original sign. There are lots of reference photos of the sign that was in front of the bar in Boston but that sign is quite different.

First two images are from the show and the third is from the sign at destination bar.

Any help is appreciated and thank you all in advance!

Hallmark made a Cheers sign holiday ornament in 2011 that is an idealized version of the sign from the show, and did a pretty faithful job with the hand and the "EST. 1895" text. Might be a good starting point for shapes and proportions. I did an eBay search for "Hallmark Cheers 2011" and there are a few for sale. Hope this helps.

Nice! I just ordered one from eBay. If nothing else it'll be a good starting point for proportions and it'll be fun to have. Thanks!
