city route US 99 highway marker road sign shield 1926 16" business loop

Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5 city route US 99 route marker. Up for sale today is this US 99 route sign. Made to the exact 1926 federal standard, as used in cities and other low-speed contexts specified by the first Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices to feature US route markers of all shapes and sizes. an 11 inch route marker was on the books until 1948 when it was deemed impossibly cute, but impractical for actual traffic guidance. The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 5 pounds, 6 ounces and is rescaled from the original specification of 11 23/32 by 11 11/23 inches, to the standard size of 16 1/2 by 16 inches - so that it doesn't get accidentally misplaced behind a breadcrumb! It 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.
