I'm currently planning a new front garden for my house in the typical MCM style - To go with this I would like a 'new' house number (10). Are there any sites that sell typical fonts of this era? I'm in the UK and we don't tend to sell mid century styles here from what I can see 🙁

Hi Nick
I ordered one of these last month (no.9) I'm not sure if they deliver to UK worth asking I guess, I am based in the UK also but mum and dad are bringing it back for me next week 🙂

Here's a great number co.
I ordered from the link below, they were great to deal with, they do custom and all manner of styles and finishes. And with the installation template the four numbers were dead easy to install.

Shouldn't be too hard
to find stock letters in plastic or metal. Wherever you live, there is -- probably -- a small company that supplies both custom and ready-made letters for shop fronts and other architectural applications. Google or otherwise look up "architectural lettering" or "outdoor sign" firms. If your budget allows, you can have anything made to order, but there's probably an economical catalog item that will do the trick. For style, Helvetica is a perfectly suitable MCM font (typeface).

I know they're a long way..but they're a fraction of the price of anything in the UK (and better)
Postage from australia isn't too bad either, and I got them in just over a week !

Thanks for the help so far. Robert, they look great - Have asked about shipping costs for 3 digits - I fancy 'ten' which looks pretty cool!
