Washington US 101 route marker.
Up for sale today is this Washington US 101 route sign. Made to the exact 1926 federal standard, as used between then and the early 1950s along this historic highway.
US 101 in its longest incarnation went from Canada to Mexico, starting in San Diego at the border with Tijuana and following what is now I-5 to Los Angeles. its current incarnation starts in downtown LA, heads to San Francisco and then up the Oregon and Washington coasts before looping around the Olympic Peninsula to end in Olympia.
The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 2 pounds, 8 ounces, and has been faithfully rescaled from the original size of 16 1/2 by 16 inches down to 12 3/8 by 12 inches. (if you would like a different size, please see our other auctions!)
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.
