    Description

    New York 1964 World's Fair ferry route marker.
    Up for sale today is this World's Fair Ferry route sign. Made to the exact 1964 state standard, as used during the World's Fair to mark the locations of special ferries just for the event.
    An original of these is very rare to find; there hasn't been a World's Fair in years, and a 1964 in even longer!  if any sign evidence of the 1964 World's Fair remains in New York City, I would be interested to know, as it would be quite the relic.
    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.  It 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.
