California ACSC Padua Hills Claremont Los Angeles highway road sign 1934 21×14
Padua Hills, Claremont, Los Angeles guide sign. Up for sale today is this California guide sign for Padua Hills, Claremont, and Los Angeles, shown with the mileages to each. Made to the exact standards as used circa 1934 by the Automobile Club of Southern California, which was responsible for signage along California highways at the time. An original of these, complete with the logo of the Auto Club of Southern California, is very rare to find scrapped. Most ACSC signage has been destroyed, with only a few circulating on the collector’s market and commanding a hefty premium due to their rarity. Here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without breaking the bank. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 lb. And is 21 by 14 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 9 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.
