    Description

    Arizona state highway 88 route marker.
    Up for sale today is this Arizona state route 88 sign. Made to the exact 1935 or so standard, that hastily supplated the original 1927-style route marker.  the original markers
    featured the Native American whirling logs symbol.  unfortunately, said symbol looks just like a particular emblem of an onerous German regime, so the highway signs were quickly modified - some were even painted over in the field!
    (eBay flags the listing if I even mention the name of the symbol.  or the name of the regime.  y'all can figure it out.  ask your grandpa.)
    An original of these would cost many thousands of dollars if it ever came to the market.  So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, for just a fraction of the price.
    The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts.  It weighs about 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and is the correct size: 15 1/4 by 18 1/4 inches.
    It is a high quality, durable sign made of heavy steel.
    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 others with the reflectors, the embossed style that other states used, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A.
