California US 101 Redwood Highway road freeway guide sign black 1958 27x11
US 101 Redwood Highway freeway guide sign. Up for sale today is this freeway guide sign for US 101 in northern California, the Redwood Highway. Made to the exact state standard used in 1958 and 1959. This style is the last to feature the black background, before the state switched to green signs in August 1959 to conform with the new Interstate System standards. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; also, as far as I know, they have all been destroyed. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without the need of a time machine. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 lb. And is 27 by 11 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.

To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5. California Interstate 405 route marker. Up for sale today is this Interstate 405 route marker, from California. Made to the exact 1961 standard from the origins of the Eisenhower interstate highway system. The wider shields came with the revision of 1961 – previously, three-digit route markers were the same size as two-digit, but with narrower numerals. This design was supplanted by the modern shield style – often with the state name omitted! – in 1971, and it gets harder and harder to find the original-style interstate route markers in many states. This particular route runs for 72.15 mi. (116.11 km) from Irvine, California, to San Fernando, going through Costa Mesa, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Westwood along the way. The 405 was actually the busiest freeway in the United States in 2011, and is infamous for its high traffic rates, even if it may have lost its standing as most heavily-trafficked since then. I can, of course, make this sign with any route or destination of your choice. Here is your chance to own a beautiful sign commemorating all the fun you and your loved ones have had along this lovely route, without breaking the bank. I can make any destination sign; inquire about your home town! The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 8 pounds, 2 ounces, and is 21 by 18 inches, the smallest of three sizes specified in the 1961 signage manual (the other sizes are 28×24 and 42×36). If you would like a different size or route number, please do not hesitate to inquire. This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign – perfect for indoor or outdoor display, with great gloss to replicate the old-school porcelain look. 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 route number 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.
