Texas ranch road 1 state highway marker route sign map LBJ Stonewall 1965 12×12
Texas Ranch Road 1 route marker. Up for sale today is this Texas Ranch Road 1 highway sign. Made to the exact 1965 standards used for the Farm to Market road system, when the design was first changed to the black square with white text, still in use today. Technically, Ranch Road 1 is not part of the Farm to Market/Ranch to Market road system, but a special designation serving Lyndon B. Johnson’s former ranch near Stonewall. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; most of them enjoy their active service on the highway and the side streets. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing a run-in with the Texas Rangers. The sign is 12 by 12 inches, and weighs 3 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 Texas US and state 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 3 lb.
