Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5 North US 101 Ventura highway sign. Up for sale today is this US 101 sign, pointing north (west, really, if you know the local geography) to Ventura. Made to the exact state standard used from 1954 to the beginnings of the interstate highway system in 1957. California's early freeway signage had a distinct look with a black background. This particular sign shows the 1956 revision that introduced the downward arrow to indicate the correct lane of travel. The historical photo from approximately 1959 shows this sign in use. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; they are long since retired from active use. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing a hernia.The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 18 pounds, 5 ounces. the freeway signs in use in the field are much more colossal - this one is a precise rescaling of the freeway style sign down to a much more manageable 30x24. 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." - Charles KuraltFigure about 20 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833.Thank you for your purchase!
