Anyone use a good technique to hide the hole on the side of the booth where the rectangular light was mounted. That hole looks terrible and I can't find the original light to cover it. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks Ron
Maybe a sign? Repro Bell System signs can be had cheap and would cover it nicely!

I'll have to check out whats available. Maybe there is something I don't have to screw in , maybe hang? Thanks Ron
If you are interested in keeping a lite there, it would not have to be original...
any low profile lite assy would look nice there.
I'm thinkin of the small wall lites that used to be on the wall in a booth at a bar...
some plain shade, or maybe a stained glass, or even a globe would look ok there.
be creative :D

Yeah, an old yellow pages ad would be appropriate there I think.
Great maybe a nice light with a phone book might be nice. Nice thought. Thanks Ron

Doesn't have to be a telephone related sign. Since the booth could have been anywhere, an appropriate sign for a hotel, theater or any other old or period sign that would be used for any purpose in those buildings would work.
Sign choice is limited to imagination, desire and price willing to be paid.
This is a bit plain but would work (6" x 12" at $14). So many to choose from.
