Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Los Angeles mileage sign. Up for sale today is this New Mexico freeway mileage sign from Interstate 40, listing the distances to Albuquerque, Flagstaff AZ, and Los Angeles CA. Made to the exact 1961 federal standards, as used by the state of New Mexico on its freeways. This sign, which was removed from the highway sometime between 2004 and 2009, is the easternmost appearance of Los Angeles on a normal highway sign. Distances of over 1,000 miles are rarely seen on typical US road signs! The original of this was most likely melted down and turned into beer cans long ago. Not only that, but it would a herculean effort to transport; the original of this sign is also 23 feet wide, so we’ve scaled it down for more wieldy display. Here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without paying an arm and a leg… Or chancing a hernia. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 22 lb. And is 48 by 18 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 24 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.
