Illinois Interstate 80 route marker
Up for sale today is this Interstate 80 route marker, from Illinois. Made to the exact 1957 standard from the origins of the Eisenhower interstate highway system. This design was supplanted by the modern shield style—often with the state name omitted!—in 1971, and it gets harder and harder to find the original-style interstate route markers in many states. This particular section of the route runs for 163.52 mi. (263.16 km) from the border with Iowa on the west end of the state to Lansing at the border with Indiana on the east end, going through the Quad Cities (specifically East Moline), LaSalle, and Joliet along the way. I can, of course, make this sign with any route or destination of your choice. Here is your chance to own a beautiful sign commemorating all the fun you and your loved ones have had along this lovely route, without breaking the bank.
I can make any destination sign; inquire about your home town!
The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 2 lb. 15 oz., and is 12 by 12 inches. If you would like a different size or route number, please do not hesitate to inquire.
This is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign — perfect for indoor or outdoor display, with great gloss to replicate the old-school porcelain look. 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, packed with care, and mailed from zip code 61833.

Please note: 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!
