Ontario King’s Highway 18 road route sign Windsor Leamington 1933 12×19
Ontario King’s Highway 18 route marker. Up for sale today is this Ontario King’s Highway 18 highway sign. Made to the exact 1933 provincial specification that was in use until the mid-1950s. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. Most of them have vanished from the back roads of Ontario many years ago, replaced with the modern issue. Additionally, Highway 18 has not been a part of the Ontario route system since 1998. 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 12 by 19 inches, and weighs 3 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 other quality Ontario 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 in the United States. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates. It’s against the law. Figure about 5 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.
