An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; many still enjoy their active service on the highways. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble.
The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It is 18 x 15 inches, and weighs about 6 pounds. it is a faithful rescaling by one half along each dimension from the highway size 36 x 30 inch signs. it is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. please see my other auctions if you are looking for the full size 36 x 30 version.
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!
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.
