To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24 Up for sale today is this Roosevelt Tree sign. The Roosevelt Tree was a giant sequoia planted in Big Pine, California on July 13th, 1913. due to failing health because of environmental changes, it unfortunately had to be cut down on September 28th, 2020. the sign shown here was placed at approximately the same time as the tree & survived into the 1950s. The sign is 18 inches on a side, & weighs 8 pounds, 4 ounces. The original porcelain sign was blue enamel on a white background, without a border. I offer that original style, as well as some variants which you may see in the other photos. sometimes the Auto Club of Southern California used a border on their signs, while at other times they used the green color for signs related to nature & forests. buyer to kindly specify which of four sign styles at purchase time - or inquire about further customization. The original of these signs exists in a private collection & is not going anywhere. 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.
