Vintage Metal Sign

To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 5! Florida State Road A1A route marker. Up for sale today is this Florida State Road A1A highway sign. Made to the exact 1945 state specification that was in use until the early 1950s along this famous road. Florida introduced the sign design with the state outline in 1945, and used the small size with the exact design seen here until 1956. Route A1A-officially Atlantic 1 Alternate, because it is an alternate to US Highway 1-exists in several segments connecting beach communities along the Atlantic Coast of Florida, including St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Miami Beach, and Key West. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. Most of them have vanished from the back roads of Florida many years ago, replaced with the modern issue. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without paying an arm and a leg on the collector’s market. The sign is 16 by 16 inches, and weighs 6 lb. This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! Please do see my other auctions for quality Florida Interstate and US route markers! Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any route number of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates. It’s against the law. Figure about 8 lb. The watermark and bear logo in the design preview will not appear on the actual sign. We have begun adding a watermark because we have had problems with other companies copying our artwork to make lesser-quality imitations. You will only get this high level of quality in design and materials from Signs by Jake.
