San Francisco Jackson Street sign. Up for sale today is this Jackson Street, 1600 block sign. The sign is made to the 1965 specification used by the city of San Francisco and still seen along its streets to the present day. This is the last style of all-capitals signage, before they went to mixed case in 2009. I can make any street name sign, from San Francisco or any other city! Ask about your favorite street! The sign is 36 by 12 inches, and weighs about 11 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 13 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.

ANTIQUE CABINET CARD PHOTOGRAPH OF PETER JACKSON. On the mount: 73 PETER JACKSON Newsboy NEW YORK. Approximately 6 7/16 x 4 3/16 inches. Mount: Spots and soiling on front and back. Back shows wear at upper left corner. Fair to good tones. Professional bare-knuckle boxer Peter Jackson, better known as the Black Prince and Peter the Great, was born on July 3, 1861, in Water Gut, Christiansted, Danish West Indies now the U. Virgin Islands to Peter Jackson Sr. A warehouseman from Montego Bay, Jamaica. Information regarding Jackson’s mother is not readily available. He attended the Moravian Day School at the Centre Mission in La Grande Princess for a brief period. However, his parents took him to Australia when he was 6 years old. In 1878, 17-year-old Jackson left for New York City searching for his eldest brother, James Jackson, whom he never located. He won the Australian heavyweight title four years later in 1886, knocking out Tom Lees in the 30th round. That same year, Jackson went to Dublin and won a match against Ireland’s best fighter, 20-year-old Peter Maher, in three rounds. In 1888 he went to San Francisco, California, and defeated George Godfrey to become the champion in the World Colored Heavyweight Championship. This title was in place for African American boxers who were then not allowed to contend for the world light heavyweight title because of racial discrimination. Sullivan, then World Heavyweight Champion, refused to fight Jackson because he was black even though the two men had fought in earlier matches before Sullivan won the title. In 1889, Jackson traveled to London, England, where he fought several matches, including one against the legendary Jem Smith at the New Pelican Club Gym in Soho, London. He defeated all opponents. One of the most brutal fights was with James Corbett in Benicia, California, in 1891. That match continued for 61 rounds and then ended with no winner when both boxers collapsed. A year later, in 1892, he fought Frank Slavin at the National Sporting Club in London, knocking him out in the 10th round. Jackson retired after that bout. At this point, Jackson had fought 28 of the best fighters in the world and remained undefeated. In 1893, Jackson toured with the theatrical production of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. He was the second Black man to perform the role of Uncle Tom. Jeffries on a fourth-round knockout. Peter Jackson’s overall professional boxing record included 45 fights that were won, 28 no contests, 27 not calculated as a win, loss, or draw, five losses, and three draws. Peter Jackson, who had been refused the opportunity to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship because of the color of his skin, died on July 13, 1901, of tuberculosis, in Sydney, Australia. In 1990, Jackson was posthumously inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. In 2004, he was added to the Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame in the Pioneers category. We do our best to accurately represent the tones and colors in all our images. However, minor variations may occur due to differences in monitor settings and/or lighting conditions.

513 (Washington & Jackson Line). 1920s-1940s San Francisco, California Sepia-toned gelatin silver photograph in hand-carved wood frame 13 × 10 in framed. Captured along the historic Washington & Jackson line, this sepia-toned photograph depicts Cable Car No. 513 bearing the Powell Street Railway Co. Taken at a time when cable cars were both a practical transit solution and an emerging cultural icon, the image preserves a clear view of the open-grip design, platform signage, and period fashion of its passengers. The hand-carved wooden frame, with its beveled corner motifs, enhances the photograph’s timeless quality. Likely taken between the 1920s and 1940s, the piece offers both a technical study of early 20th-century photographic printing and a nostalgic view of San Francisco street life. This is a true photograph, not a modern reproduction, distinguished by its warm tonal depth and silver-based print texture. On display at the Disco Freedom Gallery, 818 Hyde Street, San Francisco.
