Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5 US 1 route marker. Up for sale today is this US 1 route sign. Made to the exact 1961 standard as used in various states along this famous road. US 1 is the longest North-South road in the United States, traversing 2,370 miles (3,810 km) of the East Coast, from Key West, Florida to Fort Kent, Maine. This sign style was invented by the state of California in 1957 and adopted by the federal government as part of the 1961 Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for installation in conjunction with the brand new red, white and blue interstate route markers. though the style was supplanted by the subsequent MUTCD of 1971, several states used this sign style in other locations (such as on surface streets) for many years, and California continues to do so to this very day. An original of these would cost many thousands of dollars if it ever came to the market. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, for just a fraction of the price. This sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It is 24 x 24 inches, just as the originals, and weighs about 12 pounds, 12 ounces. (if you would like a different size, please inquire as I can certainly make them!) 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 bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates.
