Description: To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 5! Santa Monica Freeway guide sign. Up for sale today is this interstate 10, Santa Monica Freeway guide sign, with destination - appropriately enough - of Santa Monica. Made to the exact state standard used from 1959 to 1962. this style is the first to feature the green background adopted in August, 1959 to conform with the new interstate standards. This sign was posted for many years on I-10 westbound, just past the East Los Angeles Interchange. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; they are long since retired from active use. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing a hernia.The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 3 pounds, 11 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 18 by 8 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 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 KuraltFigure about 5 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833.Thank you for your purchase!
