Arkansas Highway 8 sign
Up for sale today is this Highway 8 sign from Arkansas. Made to the exact state standard used in 1961. Arkansas 8 runs for 229.83 mi., or 369.88 km, across the state from about the center of the western border with Oklahoma to the southeast corner of Arkansas\'s border with Mississippi to the east and Louisiana to the south. The route winds through some very scenic locales in the Ouachita National Forest. It also passes at least one place on the National Register of Historic Places, the Cogburn Dipping Vat, where ranchers would take their cattle to \"dip\" them in a solution to protect them from harmful pests in the 1930s and 1940s. So here is your chance to own a commemorative display and conversation piece for a historic locale!
An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; they have long since been retired from active service. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble or expensive offerding wars on a retired version.
The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 4 lb. 12 oz., and is 16 by 14 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. 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.
