Oakland freeway guide sign. Up for sale today is this interstate 680 and state route 17 sign, with destination of Oakland. Made to the exact state standard used from 1959 to 1962. this style is the first to feature the green background adopted in August, 1959 to conform with the new interstate standards. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; they are long since retired from active use. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing a hernia.The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 pounds, 1 ounce. the freeway signs in use in the field are much more colossal - this one is a precise rescaling of the freeway style sign down to a much more manageable 27 1/2 x 10 inch size. it is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. (if you would like a larger size version, please ask as I can certainly make one!) This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. 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. It\'s against the law.\" - Charles Kuralt Figure about 9 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
