California Route 66 route marker. Up for sale today is this California Route 66 sign. Made to the exact standards as used from 1964 to the present along this historic highway. California Route 66 is the modern-day incarnation of the section of old US Route 66 in California. Route 66, of course, needs no introduction-it’s been the historic Mother Road, from John Steinbeck to Bobby Troup, and has arguably become even more famous since its formal decommissioning between 1964 and 1985. 66 has become the ultimate lost highway, the road trip that everyone takes.. Get your kicks, on route 66! An original of these is most likely to be found in active service along Route 66. The authorities know where they are supposed to be-on their posts, not in the trunk of your car. So here’s your chance to get your hands on a fantastic display piece… Without chancing legal trouble. The sign is 17 by 18 inches, and weighs 6 lb. This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. 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.

Now you go through St. Louis; Joplin, Missouri; And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty… Please do see my other auctions for quality California US and state route markers! Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? 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 the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates. It’s against the law. Figure about 8 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.

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!
