Secaucus and Lincoln Tunnel guide sign.
Up for sale today is this New Jersey guide sign for exit 17, serving state highway 3, Secaucus, and the Lincoln Tunnel. Made to the exact state standard used in the 1960s to the 1980s along the major turnpike connecting New York City, Trenton, and Philadelphia.
An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; many still enjoy their active service on the highways. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble... or a hernia.
The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 16 pounds, 8 ounces. The original size is about 10 feet wide; this one is a precise rescaling of the freeway style sign down to a more manageable 36 by 18 inch size. It is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. (If you would like a larger size version, please ask as I can certainly make one!)
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 bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A.
