Oregon highway road sign McKenzie Pass Summit Cascades diamond 1910s US route 28

Description

Oregon McKenzie Pass Summit highway sign.
Up for sale today is this Summit, McKenzie Pass, Elev. 5220 guide sign.  t
he sign is made to the 1919 specification of the Oregon State Highway Department.  it is identical in size and shape to the yellow diamonds of the California State Auto Association.  the highway over McKenzie Pass was designated as US-28 in 1926, and was renumbered to US-26 in 1952.
The sign is 18 1/2 inches on a side (approximately 29 inches across the long axis, and 23 up and down the short axis), and weighs 8 pounds, 12 ounces.   This is a high quality, heavy steel remake that has the same high gloss and is indistinguishable from the original early 1910s 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!
Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with
any verbiage 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 route shield signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A.
Figure about 10 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833.
Thank you for your purchase!
