Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco guide sign. Up for sale today is this guide sign from San Francisco, California, denoting the destination of Fisherman’s Wharf. Made to the exact standards as used starting in the 1990s by the state of California, and is still in use today. There are many historic sites in the Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood, including Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, among many other locations and tourist attractions. Here is your chance to commemorate a historic destination with an elegant conversation piece for your space! An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; many still enjoy their active service in the neighborhood itself. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble… The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 3 pounds, 1 ounce. The signs in use in the field are much more colossal – this one is a precise rescaling of the original sign down to a much more manageable 16×16 inch size. It is a non-reflective sign – perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. If you would like a larger size version, please ask as I can certainly make one! This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. 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 route number of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Life doesn’t happen along the interstates. It’s against the law.

California interstate 80 route marker. Up for sale today is this California interstate 80 route sign. Made to the exact 1957 standard from the origins of the Eisenhower interstate highway system. This design was supplanted by the modern shield style – often with the state name omitted! – in 1971, and it gets harder and harder to find the original-style interstate route markers in many states. This sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 6 pounds, 15 ounces, and is 18 by 18 inches, the smallest of three sizes specified in the original 1957 signage manual (the other sizes are 24″ and 36″). It is a non-reflective sign – perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. If you would like a different size version, or a reflective one, please ask as I can certainly make one! 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 route number of your choice, and not just this style, but others with the reflectors, the embossed style that other states used, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A.
