California elevation -200 highway sign.

Up for sale today is this elevation -200 sign. Made to the exact standards as used from 1947 to the early 1950s by the California Department of Public Works, Division of Highways. this below-sea-level figure appears only in two places in California: one is in Death Valley, and the other near the Salton Sea.

(if you would like a different number of feet of elevation, please inquire!)


The sign is 24 x 12 inches and weighs a solid 7 pounds, 6 ounces, as it is constructed out of durable, heavy steel, for an appearance that is nearly indistinguishable from the old porcelain signs that were originally used back in the day.

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!

Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any city 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 9 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833.

Thank you for your purchase!
