Harbor Freeway guide sign. Up for sale today is this California freeway guide sign for the Harbor Freeway, which at the time carried US 6. This sign is taken from the freeway’s interchange with the San Bernardino, Santa Ana, and Harbor freeways. Made to the exact 1958 state standards, as used by the state of California on its early freeways. They were clearly still figuring things out… Note the black background! An original of these is very difficult to find; it is very unlikely to have survived very long after its replacement. Not only that, but if it did, it would be a herculean effort to transport; the original of this sign is also twenty feet wide, so we’ve scaled it down for more wieldy display. 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 24 by 12 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.

The sign is made to the 1919 specification of the California State Auto Association, with the logo at the bottom (as well as the association name at the sides) and with sharp corners.
