San Francisco Sansome Street sign. Up for sale today is this Sansome Street, 500 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 30 by 10 inches, and weighs about 6 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 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.

Here is a very nice stereoview by noted California photographer John James Reilly. The un-numbered view looks down Sansome Street in San Francisco. I believe the view is looking toward Market Street. Numerous businesses are visible down both sides of the street. He used many different logos on his mounts. The images are clean, clear and sharp. The mount has some light edge wear.
