To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 5! Philadelphia Broad Street sign. The sign is made to the 1990s specification used by the city of Philadelphia, and still occasionally seen along its streets to the present day. This is the last style of all-capitals signage in the classic FHWA Series fonts, before they went to mixed-case Clearview in the 2010s. I can make any street name sign, from Philadelphia or any other city! Ask about your favorite street! The sign has been scaled down from the 48 by 24 inch size of the originals to a 16 by 8 inch size more suited for a display piece. It weighs about 3 lb. This is a high quality, heavy steel remake. 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 street name or block number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any street 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 the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. 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.

Illinois Interstate 355 route marker. Up for sale today is this Interstate 355 route marker, from Illinois. 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 through the western and southwestern suburbs of Chicago for 32.5 mi. (52.3 km) from its intersection with Interstate 80 in New Lenox to the intersection with Interstate 290 in Itasca. 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 13 lb. And is 28 by 24 inches. If you would like a different size or route, 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.
