California ACSC bear route 1 highway road sign auto club Pacific Coast Highway

Description

California state highway 1 route marker.
Up for sale today is this California state route 1 sign. Made to the exact standards as used between 1934 and 1940 along this historic highway.
The original highway 1 ran from its junction with US Highway 101 Leggett, southward to San Luis Obispo, as the famed Pacific Coast Highway.  The segment in San Luis Obispo County was signed with this Auto Club of SoCal logo sign.
An original of these, complete with either the circle logo of the Auto Club of Southern California, or the diamond logo of the California State Automobile Association would cost many thousands of dollars if it ever came to the market.
The sign is 15 1/2 by 17 1/4 inches, and weighs 4 pounds 2 ounces.   This is a high quality, heavy steel remake that has the same high gloss and is indistinguishable from the original 1930s porcelain sign.
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!
Please do see my other auctions for quality California US and state route markers!
Would you like a number 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 others with the reflectors, the embossed style that other states used, 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.
