Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5US 101 El Camino Real freeway guide sign. Up for sale today is freeway guide sign for US 101 in the south San Francisco, California Bay Area, known as El Camino Real. Made to the exact state standard used in 1958 and 1959. this style is the last to feature the black background before the state switched to green signs in August, 1959 to conform with the new interstate standards. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; also, as far as I know, they have all been destroyed. 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, 2 ounces. the freeway guide signs in use in the field are much more colossal - this one is a precise rescaling of the original sign down to a much more manageable 17 1/2 x 7 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. 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 bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates.
