Our Fullerton city limit sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 16 lb. And is 36 by 18 inches. If you would like a different size or city name, please do not hesitate to inquire. This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign-perfect for indoor or outdoor display.

I can of course make these signs with any city name of your choice, and not just this style, but also the classic US and state route markers, as well as the mileage and direction guide signs, from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Figure about 18 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.

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! 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.
