Vintage Metal Sign

Oklahoma State Highway 11 route marker. Up for sale today is this Oklahoma State Highway 11 route sign. Made to the exact state standards as used between 1924 and 1935 along this historic highway. The diamond-shaped state route markers with “THE OK STATE HIGHWAY” legend were used until 1963, but only until the mid-1930s were they yellow, before federal standards mandated that yellow be used for caution and warning signs only. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. Most of them have vanished from the back roads of Oklahoma many years ago, replaced with the modern issue. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without paying an arm and a leg on the collector’s market. The sign is 14 by 14 inches, and weighs 5 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. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! Please do see my other auctions for quality Oklahoma Interstate and US 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 7 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.
