Columbia River Gorge US Forest service sign. Up for sale today is this sign detailing directions to various attractions in the Columbia River Gorge area. Made to the exact standards as used from the 1910s to the 1930s by the US Forest Service to guide hikers along the trails, roads, and highways so they wouldn’t get lost and possibly eaten by bears. The signs were posted in the National Forests of all 50 states; this one is from Oregon. Designed in the style of the signs of the early 20th century, this sign is printed to the highest standards of quality on heavy steel with great gloss to replicate the old-school porcelain look. It is 20 by 16 inches, and weighs about 8 lb. 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! Would you like a National Forest or set of destinations not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any forest name of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic city limit and route shield signs from bygone eras. 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 10 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.

Up for sale today is this Alabama freeway guide sign for Exit 71B from Interstate 59, serving the communities of I-359/SR-69 and Tuscaloosa. Made to the exact 1961 federal standards, as used throughout the 1960s and 1970s by the state of Alabama on its freeways. 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.

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 7 lb. And is 20 by 16 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.

To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 5! Massachusetts Turnpike route marker. Up for sale today is this Massachusetts Turnpike highway sign. Made to the exact state standard as devised in 1957 for the first generation of Mass Pike signs-complete with the infamous arrow-through-hat design that was replaced in the mid-1980s. The stories vary as to why the original design went away: one version of the tale says that someone got offended by the idea of violence presented by the image of the hat with an arrow through it. The far less interesting version says that it wasn’t intuitive that the arrow meant the direction one had to turn to access the highway. Left-handed versions of this route marker exist as well! An original of these is very very rare to find scrapped. Most of them have vanished from the back roads of Massachusetts many years ago, replaced with the modern issue. I definitely do not know any of them left in active service for the last few decades. 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 20 by 16 inches, and weighs 8 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 Massachusetts Interstate and US route markers! I can of course make these signs not just in this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era.
