Vintage Metal Sign

Texas Farm Road route marker. Up for sale today is this Texas Farm to Market Road highway sign, with your choice of route number. Made to the exact 1965 standards, when the design was first changed to the black square with white text, still in use today. Generally speaking, farm roads are east of Austin, and ranch roads are west. I can, of course, make this route marker in either the farm or ranch configuration-I will supply the correct type for the number requested, unless you request otherwise. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; most of them enjoy their active service on the highway and the side streets. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing a run-in with the Texas Rangers. The sign is 16 by 16 inches, and weighs 6 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 Texas US and state route markers! I can of course make these signs in 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 8 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.
