California US 66 route marker, black background
Up for sale today is this California US 66 route sign. Made to the exact standards as used between 1928 and 1934 along this famous road. Route 66 needs no introduction - it\'s been the historic Mother Road, from John Steinbeck to Bobby Troup, and has arguably become even more famous since its formal decommissioning between 1964 and 1985. 66 has become the ultimate lost highway, the road trip that everyone takes...
\"Get your kicks, on route 66!\" - Bobby Troup
I can, of course, make this sign with any route or destination of your choice. An original of these, complete with the blue logo of the Auto Club of Southern California, would cost many thousands of dollars if it ever came to the market. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, for just a fraction of the price.
The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 24 lb. 8 oz., and is 36 by 35 inches. If you would like a different size or route number, please do not hesitate to inquire.This sign style was the first ever US route marker ever posted in California, between 1928 and 1934. Only the first six years of production got the distinct and ornate blue logo.
This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign — perfect for indoor or outdoor display, with great gloss to replicate the old-school porcelain look. 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!
\"Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino...\" - Bobby Troup
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 bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A, packed with care, and mailed from zip code 61833.

Please note: 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!
