Route 1 is the eastern seaboard's longest highway, totaling over 1700 miles between Fort Kent, Maine and Key West, Florida. the Maine segment starts almost at the top of the world at Fort Kent and continues to the Canadian border crossing points of Houlton and Calais before following the Atlantic Ocean coastline through Portland to Kittery and then into New Hampshire at Portsmouth.

This sign is flat printed with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 2 pounds, 8 ounces, and is a faithful rescaling to 3/4 of the correct size: 12 3/8 by 12 inches, versus the original 16 1/2 by 16 . This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality.

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.
