To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24 Up for sale today is this Echo Summit sign. This summit is on the southern branch of the Lincoln Highway, known as the Pioneer Route. It was assigned US highway number 50 in 1926. The current Echo Summit was built in the 1930s; the elevation shown here refers to the original route surveyed & built in 1852 by John Calhoun Johnson. The sign is made to the 1919 specification of the California State Auto Association, with the logo at the bottom (as well as the association name at the sides) & with sharp corners. later generations changed to rounded corners for safety, in case an unexpected kinetic event caused the darn thing to come flying through the windshield. The sign is 18 1/2 inches on a side (approximately 29 inches across the long axis, & 23 up & down the short axis), & weighs 8 pounds, 12 ounces. The original of this sign, if it even survives, would cost thousands of dollars if it ever came to market. This is a high quality, heavy steel remake that has the same high gloss & 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, & not just this style, but older & newer ones, & even the classic mileage, direction, & route shield signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Please note: actual international shipping will be calculated on a case by case basis.
