Please note that I can make this sign for any of our National Forests, from Allegheny to Willamette, or anything else you’d like for the sign to say.

So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble… This sign has been rescaled to a much more convenient 15 by 10 inches, and weighs about 3 lb. If you would like a different size sign, please inquire. 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! Would you like a forest 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 mileage, direction, 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 3 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.
