San Francisco California 1500 Haight Street blade road sign 1946 Ashbury 20×7
San Francisco Haight St. Up for sale today is this Haight Street, 1500 block sign. The sign is made to the 1946 specification used by the city of San Francisco to designate this famous street. This is the style of sign seen at the intersection with Ashbury Street in all the historic photos from the 1960s, including the Summer of Love (1967). The signs were replaced by 1965-specification signs only in 1970, so the last of the 60s features this earlier format instead. The sign is 20 by 7 inches, and weighs about 2 pounds, 11 ounces. It is a faithful rescaling of the original 33×11.5 signs for a more convenient display. This is a high quality, heavy steel remake. 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! Would you like a street name or block number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any street name of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and route shield signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A.
