General service airport sign.
Up for sale today is this general service airport sign, used as a generic marker to direct travelers to airports of all sizes. Made to the exact federal standard that was in use for many years, and is still found in several states. (It has since been replaced by a more recognizable, though prosaic, silhouette of an airplane as viewed from overhead.) Here is your chance to own an elegant display piece of roadside history.
The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 6 lb. 8 oz., and is the correct size for ordinary use, at 16 x 16 inches. The signs intended for freeways and other high-speed corridors are larger: please inquire if you would like a different size.
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 older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A.

Figure about 8 lb. 8 oz. for shipping, packed carefully and mailed from zip code 61833. Our signs are only printed when you buy them. Allow about 10 business days for manufacturing, in addition to the usual delivery time.
The watermark and bear logo in the design preview will not appear on the actual sign. We have begun adding a watermark because we have had problems with other companies copying our artwork to make lesser-quality imitations. You will only get this high level of quality in design and materials from Signs by Jake.
Thank you for your purchase!
