Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5Illinois US 66 historic route marker. Up for sale today is this Illinois US 66 route sign. Made to the exact standards as used starting in the late 1980s along this famous road. The sign incorporates a federal 1926 specification US route marker. The sign is a faithfully scaled remake of the original 24 x 30 inch sign in a more displayable 16 x 20 inch size. It is made of heavy gauge steel and weighs about 8 pounds 2 ounces. Route 66 needs no introduction - it's been the historic Mother Road, from John Steinbeck to Bobby Troup, and has arguably become even more famous since its formal decommissioning between 1964 and 1985. 66 has become the ultimate lost highway, the road trip that everyone takes... "Get your kicks, on route 66!" - Bobby Troup An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; most of them enjoy their active service on the highway and the side streets. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble. Please see my other auctions if you are looking for this sign in the original 24 x 30 inch size. This is a high quality, heavy steel 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! "Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino..." - Bobby Troup 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 the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates. It's against the law." - Charles Kuralt Figure about 10 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
