Bodega Bay guide sign. Up for sale today is this California guide sign for State Route 1 toward Bodega Bay. Made to the exact standards as used around 1957 by the state of California. Route 1 is the famous Pacific Coast Highway, the scenic road that follows the California coast from Orange County all the way to Leggett in Northern California. Bodega Bay is toward the north end of the drive, about 40 miles northwest of San Francisco, in Sonoma County. The original of this guide sign would cost many thousands of dollars-if it even survives! Only historic photos of it are known. So here’s your chance to get an excellent display piece, without breaking the bank… Or a time machine. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 3 lb. And is 15 by 10 inches. If you would like a different size, please do not hesitate to inquire. This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign – perfect for indoor or outdoor display. 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! I can of course make these signs with any destinations 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 bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. 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. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates. It’s against the law.
