ACSC View of Mount Whitney highway sign Lone Pine US 395 California AAA 1929 16"

Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5 View of Mount Whitney guide sign. Up for sale today is this View of Mount Whitney guide sign. Made to the exact standards as used from 1929 to 1934 by the Auto Club of Southern California. This guide sign was posted for many years in Lone Pine along US highway 395 near the Alabama Hills, where Mount Whitney is visible behind several nearer mountain ranges for the first time as one approaches from the south. The original of this guide sign, complete with the logo of the Automobile Club of Southern California, would cost many thousands of dollars - if it even survives! Only historic photos of it are known. This is a faithful remake scaled down from the original size to 16 by 16 inches, manufactured on heavy steel with the correct layout, fonts and colors. It weighs about 6 pounds, 8 ounces. (If you are looking for the original 24 inch version, please see my other auctions!) 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! Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any city name of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and route shield signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Figure about 8 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
