Colorado Scenic Byway highway marker road sign state route columbine flower 16
Colorado Scenic Byway route marker. Up for sale today is this Colorado Scenic Byway route sign. Made to the exact state standard, as used to the present day. Colorado’s Scenic Byways all bear this marker, with a beautiful columbine flower, the state flower of Colorado, to distinguish the scenic and historic byways from other routes. Since 1989, Colorado has designated 26 routes, covering 2,585 miles (4,160 km) of roads across the state, and 4,459 miles (7,176 km) if you include the extensions to byways that cross into adjacent states. An original of these is most likely to be found in active service along the roads of Colorado. The authorities know where they are supposed to be-on their posts, not in the trunk of your car. So here’s your chance to get your hands on a fantastic display piece… Without chancing legal trouble. 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 Colorado US and state 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 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.
