Description: To maximize the chance your signs will arrive before Christmas, please order before December 5! Entering Needham, Massachusetts city limit sign. Up for sale today is this Entering Needham highway sign. Made to the exact state standard as devised in 1976 and still seen on Massachusetts highways to this day. It is the modern version of the 1950s book-leaf design, with a flat bottom to make it easier to attach to a pole with standard hardware. This sign style persisted until 2009 or so, when the text began to be displayed in mixed case, in accordance with new federal regulations reflecting research showing mixed-case text to be more legible from a distance. Signs like this do turn up on the collector's market from time to time. However, examples in good condition often command a price of several hundred dollars. Here is your chance to own an example of this style of sign, without breaking the bank. I can make any Massachusetts town or city name sign; inquire about your home town! And I can make these signs in any size, and in the older 1950s style, too! Just ask! The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. We have scaled it down from the 60 in. by 48 in. size of the original to 20 by 16 inches for easier indoor display. It weighs about 7 lb. 9 oz.. It is a non-reflective sign – perfect for indoor or outdoor display. 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 city name of your choice, and not just this style, even the classic US and state route markers, and the mileage and direction guide signs, from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Figure about 9 lb. 9 oz. for shipping, packed carefully and mailed from zip code 61833. Our signs are only printed when you buy them. Allow about 10 business days for manufacturing, in addition to the usual delivery time. The watermark and bear logo in the design preview will not appear on the actual sign. We have begun adding a watermark because we have had problems with other companies copying our artwork to make lesser-quality imitations. You will only get this high level of quality in design and materials from Signs by Jake. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates. It's against the law." —Charles Kuralt Thank you for your purchase!
