San Francisco Alemany Boulevard sign. Up for sale today is this Alemany Boulevard, 2400 block sign. The sign is made to the 1946 specification used by the city of San Francisco. Signs in this style were still being posted until 1965, and remained in service for several years thereafter. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. Most of them vanished long ago, when they were replaced with the more modern issues. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without paying a small fortune on the collector’s market. I can make any street name sign, from San Francisco or any other city! Ask about your favorite street! The sign is 20 by 7 inches, and weighs about 2 lb. This is a high quality, heavy steel remake, printed on one side for economical display against a wall or other flat surface. It is a non-reflective sign, making it ideal for ordinary display, inside or out. 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. Figure about 4 lb. 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.

DETAILS: Antique leather bound photo album depicting San Francisco shortly after the 1906 earthquake. There are 116 photographs in the album and every image is of the earthquake. The photographer appears to have started taking pictures shortly after it occurred as there are photos of the city ablaze, with smoke rising from buildings. The distinguishing feature about this photo album is that the original photographer / compiler took the time identify practically every photograph by it’s location or subject matter. The handful of photographs that do not have a caption appear to be secondary shots of a previously identified but from a different location. It should be noted that the photographer did not only record the destruction. They also took photographs of the recovery effort with photos of militia and national guard troops, Everyday people going about their lives, the shantytowns and tent camps, even an ambulance horse and buggy. In short it provides an exhaustive look into the earthquake and its immediate aftermath with important factual information of the photos. MEASUREMENTS: Album measures 8 x 10 inches with 75 double sided pages. There are 116 photographs in the album. 71 of the photographs measure approximately 6.5 x 4.5, The remaining 45 photographs measure approximately 3.25 x 3.0 inches. Minor fraying to leather side binding. Otherwise a very well preserved example. NOTE: Please note that the images of the photo album and photographs were taken in a professional fluorescent light box. For this reason some of the photo details and writing are not as clear as they would be when viewed in person. Oxxbridge Galleries was founded in 1987 and specializes in vintage paper items with a particular focus on counter culture materials.
