Description: US Route 1 route marker. Up for sale today is this US Route 1 sign. Made to the exact 1961 federal standard, as officially used between then and 1970 along this famous highway. US 1 signs like this one could, at one point, be found in all the states it passes through. Now, a dwindling number of them can be found in many states as they transition to the newer—and in my opinion, uglier!—signage introduced in 1971 (although some Southern states continue using this style to this day). An original of these can be very hard to come by. Most of them were destroyed, and only a few examples circulate on the collector's market. An original might run many hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the collector's market. So here's your chance to get your hands on a fantastic display piece...without breaking the bank. The sign is 24 by 24 inches, and weighs 14 lb. 10 oz. 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! Please do see my other auctions for quality state and US route markers! Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? 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 the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates. It's against the law." —Charles Kuralt Figure about 16 lb. 10 oz. for shipping, packed carefully and mailed from zip code 61833. Our signs are only printed when you buy them. Allow about 10 business days for manufacturing, in addition to the usual delivery time. 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!
