Presented is an 11-inch circular bronze plate honoring singer, Grammy Award winning recording artist, and Oscar winning actor Frank Sinatra, that has been attributed to the 1999 renovation of New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The bronze plate has a black five-point star set in the top with a reproduction of Sinatra’s signature engraved. At the bottom of the star is engraved “Frank Sinatra” in blue block letters. The plate is 1¼-inch high, with two screw holes in the top, and an unfinished bronze underside.

Opened on December 27, 1932, Radio City Music Hall was designed by Edward Durell Stone and Donald Deskey in the Art Deco style. One of the more notable parts of the Music Hall is its large auditorium, which was the world's largest when the Hall first opened. The complex included two theaters, the "International Music Hall" and the Center Theatre, as part of the "Radio City" portion of Rockefeller Center. The 5,960-seat Music Hall was the larger of the two venues. It was largely successful until the 1970s, when declining patronage nearly drove the Music Hall to bankruptcy. Radio City Music Hall was designated a New York City Landmark in May 1978, and the Music Hall was restored and allowed to remain open. The hall was extensively renovated in 1999. Sinatra played several concerts at Radio City Music Hall in the late 1990s. This bronze plate may have been used in the lobby of Radio City Music Hall in their “Walk of Fame.” The signature of every celebrity to perform at Radio City Music Hall since 1932 is on file -- in 13 guest books filled to the brim with the most famous of names, which is almost certainly the origin of Sinatra’s signature on the bronze plate.
