Vermont US route 5 highway marker road sign shield 1928 Brattleboro

Description

Vermont US 5 route marker.
Up for sale today is this Vermont US 5 route sign. Made to the exact 1926 federal standard, as used between 1928 and approximately 1950 along this historic highway.
The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts.  It weighs about 4 pounds, 6 ounces, and is the correct size: 16 1/2 by 16 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.
