Indiana state line marker.Up for sale today is this Indiana state line sign. Made to the exact state standard used in the 1960s and 1970s. This sign was found at all state lines for many years, welcoming people to Indiana - it has been supplanted by more modern variants but a few examples still are around, here and there.
An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; many still enjoy their active service on the highways. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble... or a hernia.
(I can, of course, place the name of any governor onto this sign. Branigin, Pence, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or even your name!)
The sign is flat printed with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 pounds, 3 ounces.
the state line signs in use in the field are much more colossal - this one is a precise rescaling of the freeway style sign down to a much more manageable 24 x 13 inch size. it is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors.
(if you would like a larger size version, or a reflective one, please ask as I can certainly make one!)
This is a high quality, heavy steel 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!
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.
