San Francisco city and county limit sign. Up for sale today is this San Francisco city and county limit boundary sign, from California. Made to the exact standards used from 1929 to 1934 by the California State Auto Association. Population and elevation are correct to the 1930 census. I can make this city limit sign for any city or town in California, or any other state. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; they have long since been retired from service. You can expect to pay many hundreds of dollars to obtain one-if any even survive. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without the hassle and expense of tracking one down on the collector’s market. Our San Francisco city limit sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 6 lb. And is 21 by 12 inches. If you would like a different size, city name, or population number, please do not hesitate to inquire. This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective replica 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 city name of your choice, and not just this style, even the classic US and state route markers, and the mileage and direction guide signs, from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Figure about 8 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. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates. It’s against the law.

1854 Map of Horner’s Addition – City of San Francisco – photographic print 26″ x 18″ imaged on a 28″ x 25″ sheet from 8″ x 10″ film negative. My father owned this original map and had it photographed. One of a kind print. We have many items handed down 5 generations through my San Francisco family. My mother had her M. Stoney Antiques store on Taraval Street in San Francisco, in the mid 70’s. Some of those items passed down to us. My father’s family traveled to Asia and Europe in the 1930’s thru 50’s and brought back many treasures we have inherited. Jewelry and art from Italy. Metalware, jewelry and ceramics from Siam, Burma and China. They also collected California Art, and art prints worldwide. They also traveled a lot in the Western US and East Coast, Mexico and Central America. I rely upon my history of my family objects, family activity history, and independent research to determine provenance and value. Please let me know if you have any questions and i will do my best to answer them. We are glad to answer your questions. We are not experts and try to make clear any aspects that we are not sure about. Thanks for taking a look!
