California ACSC bear route 41 highway road sign auto club AAA James Dean Fresno

Description

California state highway 41 route marker.
Up for sale today is this California state route 41 sign. Made to the exact standards as used between 1934 and 1940 along this historic highway.
Highway 41 is a major road in the Central Valley and across the mountains of California, connecting the coast at Cambria to the Sierras at Yosemite. In 1964, the west ends of routes 41 and 46 were swapped, and now it is 41 which ends at Morro Bay. It is at the junction of 41 and 46 (then numbered US Route 466) where James Dean met his end in 1955.
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!
