California Wilmington, NC distance sign.
Up for sale today is this Wilmington, NC, 2554 Miles distance sign. Made to the exact standards as used by the state of California at the eastbound beginning of Interstate 40, in Barstow. The distance given is that to the other end of the highway. (There was at one time a corresponding westbound sign in Wilmington giving the distance to Barstow, but North Carolina gave up replacing it after it was stolen one too many times.)
There is precisely one official copy of this sign, and the California Highway Patrol knows exactly where it is supposed to be—in service along I-40 in Barstow, not in the trunk of your car. So here\'s your chance to get your hands on a fantastic display piece...without chancing legal trouble.
The sign is 18 by 8 inches, and weighs 3 lb. 11 oz.
This is a high quality, non-reflective replica sign printed on heavy steel. 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!
Would you like a highway number, destination, and mileage not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? 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.

Figure about 5 lb. 11 oz. for shipping, packed carefully and mailed from zip code 61833. Our signs are only printed when you buy them. Allow about 10 business days for manufacturing, in addition to the usual delivery time.
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.
Thank you for your purchase!
