To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 4! San Francisco Larkin St. Up for sale today is this Larkin St, 2019 block sign. The sign is made to the 1965 specification used by the city of San Francisco to designate this famous street. This is the last style of all-capitals signage before they went to mixed case in 2009. The exact sign posted at the corner of the block would have been 2000 – but I can make any street and number per customer request! The sign is 36 by 12 inches, which is the same size as the originals, and weighs about 8 pounds, 10 ounces. 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.
