Up for sale today is this California state route 11 route sign. Made to the exact 1964 standard from when California switched from white miner's spade route markers to green ones. An updated version of this shield is still in use to the present day on this famous highway.
This sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 6 pounds, 15 ounces, and is 17 13/16 by 18 21/32 inches, the smallest of three sizes specified in the original 1964 signage manual (the other sizes are approximately 24" and 36"). it is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. (if you would like a different size version, please ask as I can certainly make one!)
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.
