California US 101 Ventura Freeway highway road sign 1959 Los Angeles 14x8

Description: To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 5!US-101, Ventura Freeway guide sign. Up for sale today is this Los Angeles, California freeway guide sign. Made to the exact state standard used from 1959 to 1963. The junction sign has the US 101 route shield and also the Ventura Freeway name. The older highway signs with the white outline shields, the freeway names, and the dark green backgrounds are disappearing fast—here's a lovely throwback to the early days of the Los Angeles freeway system. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; many still enjoy their active service on the highways. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble... or a hernia. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 2 lb. 14 oz., and is 14 by 8 inches. The freeway signs in use in the field are much more colossal—this one is a precise rescaling of the standard junction sign down to a much more manageable size. If you would like a different size, please do not hesitate to inquire. This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign—perfect for indoor or outdoor display. 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 destinations 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. Figure about 4 lb. 14 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. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates. It's against the law." —Charles Kuralt Thank you for your purchase!
