Well, this might be a bit too obvious, but according to the description, the sign itself is 2.6"x1.1".

Based on the number of photos, it's approximately 11 letters wide and 3 letters tall -- making each letter about 0.24" wide x 0.36" tall.  Or about 3.2'x4.8' in scale measurement.

Jon,

I used that kit for the top row of lettering in the Kacey Fine Furniture sign in the background here.  I'll measure the letters when I get home.

Erik,

We bought the chair I'm sitting in at Kacey's . . .

Jon -- can you send me your e-mail address I misplaced it and I have some pics of 2-10-4s scanned for you.

Jon,

According to my trusty calipers, the letters are .32" high.
