To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24 Illinois US 66 arrow route marker. Up for sale today is this Illinois US 66 route sign, with destination of St. Louis. Made to the exact 1935 state standard which introduced these arrow signs, and using the 1948 update to the modern font set. Please see my other auctions for other styles of US 66 signs, from Illinois and the other 7 states it went through, and of course I can make this Illinois directional arrow sign style with any route number and destination city . Route 66 needs no introduction - it's been the historic Mother Road, from John Steinbeck to Bobby Troup, and has arguably become even more famous since its formal decommissioning between 1964 and 1985. 66 has become the ultimate lost highway, the road trip that everyone takes... "Get your kicks, on route 66!" - Bobby Troup 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. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 3 pounds, 3 ounces, and has been faithfully rescaled from the original to a much more convenient size: 25 by 5 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! "Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino..." - Bobby Troup 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. It's against the law." - Charles Kuralt Figure about 5 pounds for shipping, packed carefully and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
