Looking for 1/2 house numbers

February 23, 2007 2:20 PM

Anyone know where you can find some nice 1/2 house numbers online? (I live at 217 1/2 N. joshuaconner St. and want to put my address outside.)

Are you in a duplex or did you just get to pick your address? because living at 1/2 of anything is pretty cool, but living at 11/7th's of a street address would be awesome.

Personally I'd take a 7 like this and grind i down to make it the / then find all you have to do is find the 217 1 2 in the style you like.

I'm guessing it would be too confusing to display "217 .5 N. Bojongo St.

Along the same lines I suggested 434/2, but my roommates vetoed it with extreme prejudice. Something about wanting to get their mail, I don't know.

Response by poster: And no, the number came with the place. We live on top of an antiques shop.

House Number World has an amazingly vast selection. I don't see "1/2" specifically, but they have most every other imaginable variation. You could inquire...

I sometimes rehab homes and think a new house number looks nice. Last time I ordered a custom plastic plate on ebay for like $10, I bet they could do 1/2 's

Have a sign-painter paint it on a slab of wood.
