Rare Vintage Irvin Shope Lewis and Clarke Original Trail Sign. Very Rare. 2 Foot.
This is not a reproduction but the real deal.
State standard used in the 1940s to the 1970s when the trail was first marked. The design is based on a late 1940s Irvin Shope drawing. The route was finalized by 1978 and marked with the modern rectangle signs as a National Historic Trail, but this early variant was seen in several states as early as 1948 in both porcelain and printed variants.
An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; this variant has long since disappeared off the highways, to be replaced with the more modern rectangular version seen in North and South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois.
This sign held up very well and has no bullet holes or bends. There is some paint missing in a corner as you can see. This was in the private collection of an Oregon member of the fire department. He passed away so I don’t know exactly when you he got it but on the back it has a price tag of $550 of when he bought it which is believe to be in the 1980’s, maybe early 1990’s. This is not a reproduction.
