Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24Maryland Northeastern Expressway route marker. Up for sale today is this Maryland Northeastern Expressway sign. Made to the exact standards as used in 1963 at the opening of this important highway. The Northeastern Expressway is a freeway heading northeast out of Baltimore, running over 40 miles to the Delaware line. President John F. Kennedy was the guest of honor at the highway's opening ceremonies. Only eight days later, he was killed in Dallas, Texas. Given Kennedy's connection to the highway, the road was renamed in honor of the fallen president. The road was later incorporated into the route of Interstate 95, which is it currently signed as today. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. They disappeared from the roads of Maryland many years ago, having been replaced with standard I-95 signs. The short amount of time they were in service makes it unlikely that very many of them survive to this day. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without paying an arm and a leg on the collector's market. The sign is 16 by 16 inches, and weighs 5 lb. 0 oz. 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! Please do see my other auctions for quality Maryland US and state route markers! Would you like a route not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? 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 5 lb. 0 oz. for shipping, packed carefully and mailed from zip code 61833. Please note: 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. Thank you for your purchase!
