Product code: New York Brooklyn Battery Tunnel highway marker road sign deals 1950

To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order before November 10!

Up for sale today is this New York Brooklyn Battery Tunnel route sign. Made to the exact 1950 state standard, as used at the original opening of the tunnel. The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel was first proposed in the 1920s and finally built in the 1940s for an opening date of May 25th, 1950, carrying four lanes of traffic under the East River. at nearly two miles long, it is the longest continuous vehicular tunnel in the United States.

An original of these is very rare to find; just about all of them have long since vanished, to be replaced with a similar sign but of a larger size, with modern reflective sheeting and fonts.

The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It comes in three sizes: 16, 24, or 36 inch circle.

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!

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.

Please note: actual international shipping will be calculated on a case by case basis. Please contact us so we can deals calculate the shipping for you.
