United States yellow STOP thru traffic highway road street sign 1927 16×16
United States STOP warning sign. Up for sale today is this STOP warning sign. Made to the exact 1927 standards used by United States on its highways, with the addition of the “Thru Traffic” legend added to some signs of this issue. Stop signs in the US were yellow and black beginning with the first national highway sign standards in 1927. The revision of 1948 changed the design to what was essentially a yellow version of the modern sign. The familiar modern red-and-white sign was introduced in 1954. An original of these is very hard to come by. They were retired from the roads of the United States long ago, with most of them being destroyed and only a few examples circulating on the collector’s market. An original would easily run many hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the collector’s market. So here’s your chance to get your hands on a fantastic display piece… Without breaking the bank. The sign is 16 by 16 inches, and weighs 5 lb. This is a high quality, non-reflective replica sign printed on heavy steel. 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 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 7 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.
