Description: To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 5! New York George Washington Bridge, Bronx guide sign. Up for sale today is this New York City freeway guide sign. Made to the exact state standard used from 1957 to 1966. The sign has the route shields for Interstate 95, and US Highway 1, as well as the destinations of the George Washington Bridge, the Bronx, and 178th Street. The sign was posted in the early 1960s; the photo of the original shown in this listing is from 1963. The classic Port Authority of New York and New Jersey sign shape is represented here: a downward-angled trapezoid as opposed to the rectangles seen elsewhere. The original of these was removed from service long ago and was most likely sold for scrap. If it did still exist, it would be a herculean effort to transport, thanks to its colossal size, so we've scaled it down for more wieldy display. 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 3 lb. 11 oz., and is 21 by 7 inches. 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 5 lb. 11 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!
