SUPER RARE 🔥 1950’s Los Angeles Porcelain SHOTGUN Street Sign VENICE BLVD For Sale

Venice Boulevard is a major east–west thoroughfare in Los Angeles, running from the ocean in the Venice district into downtown Los Angeles. It was originally known as West 16th Street under the Los Angeles numbered street system. While some maps and signs may mark a segment of Venice Boulevard as State Route 187 between Lincoln Boulevard (State Route 1) in Venice and the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10) in the South Robertson district, control of that highway have been relinquished in piecemeal segments from the state to the City of Los Angeles since 2015, with the goal of eventually decommissioning SR 187.

The western terminus of Venice Boulevard is Ocean Front Walk (a pedestrian road) in Venice. Between Ocean Front Walk and Abbot Kinney Boulevard, a one-way pair is used where eastbound traffic splits onto South Venice Boulevard and westbound traffic travels on North Venice Boulevard. Proceeding easterly, Venice Boulevard crosses Lincoln Boulevard (State Route 1). The route then passes through the Mar Vista neighborhood, intersecting with the San Diego Freeway. Further east, it briefly forms the boundary between the Palms neighborhood and Culver City, passing near Sony Pictures Studios. Venice Boulevard then continues northeast into the Crestview neighborhood of the South Robertson district, intersecting with the Santa Monica Freeway.[1] Continuing to parallel Washington Boulevard directly to its south, as it does for much of its length, Venice Boulevard proceeds between the Picfair Village neighborhood in West Los Angeles and Lafayette Square in Mid-City, through the Mid-Wilshire district, through Arlington Heights, and Harvard Heights. It then dips under the Harbor Freeway (without any direct connection to it), and continues into the heart of downtown Los Angeles, where it turns into East 16th Street at Main Street.

The "Shotgun" Sign (made 1946-1962) - Supposedly called because of the resemblance of the sign's shape to a shotgun, these signs are the oldest common street signs found in Los Angeles (though older ones still exist in various spots). These porcelain signs feature two faces and a hollow center. They are black with white upper-case block lettering, and the street type and direction contain a period at the end of the abbreviation. Though over 60 years old, these signs are the second most-commonly found street sign type in the City.
