New Mexico state highway 1 route marker

Up for sale today is this New Mexico 1 route sign. Made to the exact 1927 state standard, as used between then and the 1930s. the classic long-ray zia with the small number was used only for a few years before the circle was made larger to accommodate a more legible route number. this route 1 sign was featured on the inaugural issue of New Mexico Highways in April, 1927.

An original of these would cost many hundreds of dollars if it ever came to the market. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, for just a fraction of the price.

I can make any destination sign; inquire about your home town!

The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 11 lb. 9 oz., and is 24 by 24 inches. If you would like a different size or route number, please do not hesitate to inquire.

This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign — perfect for indoor or outdoor display, with great gloss to replicate the old-school porcelain look. 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, packed with care, and mailed from zip code 61833.

Please note: The watermark and bear logo in the design preview will not appear on the actual sign. We have begun adding a watermark because we have had problems with other companies copying our artwork to make lesser-quality imitations. You will only get this high level of quality in design and materials from Signs by Jake.

Thank you for your purchase!
