British Columbia Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3) route marker. Up for sale today is this British Columbia Highway 3 sign. Highway 3 is the Crowsnest Trail, a major east-west crossing of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and British Columbia, crossing the Continental Divide between provinces at the Crowsnest Pass, an elevation of 4455 feet (1358 meters). This sign is made to the exact early 1960s standard from when the trail was first signed with the crow graphic. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. Most of them have vanished from the back roads of British Columbia 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 16 inches, and weighs 4 lb. This is a high quality, heavy steel sign replica, made with great gloss for an appearance that is nearly indistinguishable from the old porcelain signs that were originally used back in the day. 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 other quality British Columbia 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 6 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.

British Columbia provincial highway 95 sign. Up for sale today is this British Columbia route 95 sign. Made to the exact specification of 1971 that changed to the blue text that has been used to the present day. (The specification was revised in 1979 to accommodate the newly adopted metric system, because Canadians don’t have twelve fingers). This particular road is a north-south route from Kingsgate (on the Canada-US border) to Golden, and its junction with the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1), clocking in at 329 km 204 mi. 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 4 lb. And is 14 by 16 inches. 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! 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 bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A, packed with care, and mailed from zip code 61833. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates.

A vintage Royal Warrant crest from the early to mid-20th century, featuring the British Royal Coat of arms. The coat features both the motto of English monarchs, Dieu Et Mon Droit (God and my right), and the motto of the order of the garter, Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense (shame upon him who thinks evil of it) on a representation of the garter behind the shield. The shield is quartered, depicting in the first and fourth quarters the three passant guardant lions of England; in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure flory-counterflory of Scotland; and in the third, a harp for Ireland. The crest is a statant guardant lion wearing the St Edward’s Crown, himself on another representation of that crown. The Dexter supporter is a likewise crowned English lion; the sinister, a Scottish unicorn. According to legend a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast; therefore the heraldic unicorn is chained. In the greenery below, a thistle, Tudor Rose and shamrock are present, representing Scotland, England and Ireland respectively. British Royal Warrants are currently granted by Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales to companies or tradespeople who supply goods and services. The warrant enables the supplier to advertise the fact that they supply to the royal family. Royal Warrants are only awarded to tradesmen. The professions, employment agencies, party planners, the media, government departments, and “places of refreshment or entertainment” (such as pubs and theatres) do not qualify. The Merchandise Marks Act 1887 makes it illegal for companies to falsely claim that they have a Royal Warrant. Beautifully rendered and hand painted. Shows amazing age and patina. Well made, solid metal casting (very heavy weight). 35 inches x 35 inches (nearly 3 feet x 3 feet). Has 3 mounting holes for ease of hanging. More than likely, this warrant was displayed on the outside of a business in England. There are signs of wear and evidence of outside use (it has not been recently cleaned, in order to maintain its current integrity, hence, there is some surface dust). There is generalized paint peeling and there are many areas were the under metal (aluminum) is exposed. This adds character and patina to the piece however, this is a subjective. Please examine the pictures closely. The item “Large British Royal Coat of Arms Vintage Royal Warrant Crest Solid Metal Sign” is in sale since Saturday, December 29, 2018. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Advertising\Merchandise & Memorabilia\Signs\Original\1930-69″. The seller is “snackula” and is located in Lafayette, California.
