North Carolina Raleigh interstate route 40 highway marker road sign 1957 NC 12" For Sale

North Carolina interstate 40 route marker. Up for sale today is this North Carolina interstate 40 route sign. Made to the exact 1957 standard from the origins of the Eisenhower interstate highway system. 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. Interstate 40 in North Carolina connects several large cities and landmarks throughout the state along its 420.21 mile (676.26 km) journey. Some of these include the Blue Ridge Mountains, the foothills of western North Carolina, Asheville, Statesville, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Durham and Wilmington, where the California to North Carolina interstate ends. This sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 3 pounds, 2 ounces, and is 12 by 12 inches, faithfully rescaled from the originals for more convenient display. it is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. (if you would like a different size version, please ask as I can certainly make one!)This is a high quality steel sign. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality.

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.
