California state highway 140 route marker.
Up for sale today is this California state route 140 sign. Made to the exact standards as used between 1934 and 1940 along this historic highway.
Highway 140 starts in the Central Valley, at US Highway 99 (now state route 99) in Merced, and heads east and northeast into Yosemite National Park. It terminates a few miles into the park and does not cross one of the highest, most forbidding, segments of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
An original of these, complete with the diamond logo of the California State Automobile Association would cost many thousands of dollars if it ever came to the market.
The sign is 15 1/4 by 17 inches, and weighs four pounds and two ounces. It 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 California 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.
