Vintage Metal Sign

Interstate 405, Long Beach guide sign. Up for sale today is this California freeway guide sign for Interstate 405 north, serving the city of Long Beach. Made to the exact 1959 state standards used by California on its freeways. This particular sign appears on Interstate 5 north at the El Toro Y, where the 405 splits away from the 5 in Irvine. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; many still enjoy their active service on the highways. The original of this sign is also 17 ft. Wide, so we’ve scaled it down for more wieldy display. Here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble… The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 17 lb. And is 35 by 20 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 19 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.
