New York Interstate 478 highway marker

Up for sale today is this Interstate 478 route marker, from New York. Made to the exact 1961 standard from the origins of the Eisenhower interstate highway system. The wider shields came with the revision of 1961 - previously, three-digit route markers were the same size as two-digit, but with narrower numerals. This design was supplanted by the modern shield style - often with the state name omitted! - in 1971, and it gets harder and harder to find the original-style interstate route markers in many states.

I-478 is the official route designation for the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel and its approaches, although it is not signed as such. I-478\'s south end is at the tunnel\'s south end, I-278 in Brooklyn, and the highway extends 2.14 miles (3.44 km) to the tunnel\'s north end at NY 9A (West Street) in Lower Manhattan. The entirety of I-478 is concurrent with the tunnel. I can, of course, make this sign with any route or destination of your choice. Here is your chance to own a beautiful sign commemorating all the fun you and your loved ones have had along this lovely route, without breaking the bank.

I can make any destination sign; inquire about your home town!

The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 lb. 10 oz., and is 21 by 18 inches. If you would like a different size or route number, please do not hesitate to inquire.

This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign — perfect for indoor or outdoor display, with great gloss to replicate the old-school porcelain look. 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, packed with care, and mailed from zip code 61833.

\"Life doesn\'t happen along the interstates. It\'s against the law.\" —Charles Kuralt

Please note: The watermark and bear logo in the design preview will not appear on the actual sign. We have begun adding a watermark because we have had problems with other companies copying our artwork to make lesser-quality imitations. You will only get this high level of quality in design and materials from Signs by Jake.

Our signs are only printed when you buy them. Allow about 10 business days for manufacturing, in addition to the usual delivery time.

Thank you for your purchase!
