    Description

    New York Triborough Bridge route marker.
    Up for sale today is this Triborough Bridge route sign. Made to the exact 1936 state standard, as used at the original opening of the bridge.
    An original of these is very rare to find; just about all of them have long since vanished.  In fact, the bridge doesn't even have the same name anymore - it is formally named the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge now, even though nobody actually calls it that.
    The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts.  It weighs about 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and is the correct size: 24 by 20 5/8 inches.
    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.
