Route US 66 highway marker sign mother road 1926 16x16 black

To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24 Route US 66 highway marker. Up for sale today is this Route US 66 route sign. Made to the exact 1926 federal standard, albeit with no state name but instead the word ROUTE at the top, and with an alternate color scheme of black background with white text. the original signs had a state name up top, but the idea of "Route 66" has been so ingrained in the public consciousness that such a sign makes sense especially when one wishes to represent the entire highway from beginning to end as a whole. 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 old 66 sign 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 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 gauge 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 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 Kuralt Figure about 7 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
