Mississippi Death Here warning road highway sign skull and crossbones 1938 12×12
Mississippi Death Here marker. Up for sale today is this Mississippi Death Here highway sign. Mississippi posted signs like this, marking the spot where fatalities due to traffic accidents occurred, in the early days of the state’s highway system. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. They vanished from the back roads of Mississippi many years ago. 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 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 Mississippi Interstate and US route markers! I can of course make signs not just in 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 5 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.
