To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24 Florida US 1 route marker. Up for sale today is this Florida US 1 route sign. Made to the exact 1949 state standard, as used between then and the early 1950s along this famous road. Florida used the colored shields from the 1940s until 1993, but they only used the small cutouts until 1956. Route 1 is the eastern seaboard's longest highway, totaling over 1700 miles between Fort Kent, Maine and Key West, Florida. the Florida segment enters the state just north of Jacksonville and proceeds to Daytona, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and then between the keys across a series of bridges. this last segment was completed in 1938, extending the route from Miami to Key West. An original of these would cost many hundreds 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 steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 4 pounds, 6 ounces, and is the correct size: 16 1/2 by 16 inches. 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.
