Vintage Metal Sign

Ozark Expressway US-50/66 sign. Up for sale today is this Ozark Expressway sign, from St. Made to the exact state standard used from approximately 1955 to 1963, when the federal green sign standards were adopted. The historical photo from 1958 shows a sign very much like this one in use. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; they are long since retired from active use. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing a hernia. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 lb. And is 30 by 10 inches. The freeway signs in use in the field are much more colossal-this one is a precise rescaling down to a much more manageable size. 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.
