Watertown Boston Massachusetts highway 2-3-16 marker road sign 1949 20x16

Description

Watertown and Boston highway sign.
Up for sale today is this guide sign for routes 2, 3, and 16, directing traffic to Watertown and Boston Massachusetts.   Made to the exact state standard as devised in 1949 and used until 1962, when the signs became white on green to conform to the new federal standard.  These cut-corner signs are getting more and more rare by the day, as are all signs in general that feature the classic Massachusetts highway sign font.  If one should show up, it would command a price of several hundred or multiple thousands of dollars.  Here is your chance to own an example of this style of sign, without breaking the bank.
I can make any Massachusetts destination sign; inquire about your home town!
The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts.  It weighs about 7 pounds, 14 ounces, and has been rescaled from the original 60 x 48 inch size to a much more wieldy 20 by 16.  It is a non-reflective sign - perfect for indoor or outdoor display.
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.
