SIGNS FOR SALE OR TRADE

[Alps]

What's funny is I have an M-35 up on my wall.  Of all the cutouts to wonder about, that's probably the easiest to find.  I agree that NJ/DE shields are unusually hard to come by, maybe because most people just don't care about the circles and so they never find their way into collectors' hands.

Here is a list of some of the signs I would also like to get...

-NJ Turnpike shield
-Garden State Parkway shield
-Atlantic City Expressway shield
-any New York State parkway shield
-any Long Island parkway shield
-Palisades Interstate Parkway shield
-PennDOT town/county/city etc. line sign (new blue on white style or old gold on dark blue style)
-any New Hampshire shield
-any sign with the Adirondack Park color combo (gold on brown)
-An old style font Maine shield
-any style New Jersey or Delaware shield

Joehler has an old Maine 4A up starting bid at $99...and a NY State Thruway at just over $121...

I saw the ME 4A shield. I don't think I am going to take it, since Joehler isn't the best seller out there. With the NYS Thruway, I already have one custom made.

I got a meat cleaver from Joehler on eBay once, and he seemed to be a decent seller. 'Course if you have a moral objection to his shield procurement methods, then obviously that would cloud things a bit.

If you're insinuating what I think you are, I'd be more worried about legal implications than moral objection.

[agentsteel53]

nope, nothing like that.  he gets them from highway departments, scrapyards, etc - on occasion getting the fraggin' wagon out on location to officially retire a sign.

If he acquires them legally, then I see absolutely no moral problems with it.

I need to go to Missouri and get my signs.  I have a custom made Arkansas I-49 shield, a bunch of US routes, and several state shields.  All modern signs except for my infamous US 59 embossed cutout rustbucket.

It is not that he is a bad seller, it is just that he sells signs for a high price. He sold me a plain ME 4 shield for $55. He also sometimes writes stuff on the back of his signs, which isn't all bad, I assume. He is a good source for signs that can be tough to find.

what is the US shield next to the Mizzou sign?

*sigh* now if you had a state-named NORTH Carolina I-shield.....

There used to be a decent flea market where Joplin & Webb City meet that would have signs, but the place closed a few years ago. I picked up a rectangle  TT  ( --TT--> ) along US 63 a few years back... just south of the MO line IIRC.

I picked up a steel black/yellow STOP (round font) in Lowell about 1o years ago, but sacrificed it to the e-bay after I got a square font b/y STOP.  I also once found a yellow diamond steel "Road Closed" sign.

I also have a couple signs that may predate MUTCD: one is a rectangle w/ square fonts

Boulevard
STOP. 

The other is a rectangle:
---------->
Business
District

None are for sale at this time, but if I think about it, maybe I'll post a couple pics.

Does anybody have a NY 27 sign for sale or know where I can get it made for less than $50?

[agentsteel53]

Does anybody have a NY 27 sign for sale or know where I can get it made for less than $50?

I can make one for 99 bucks.  You may be able to have a standard NY state contractor make a modern shield cheaper, as my price is for a fully customized route marker, while theirs would be part of a batch run of near-identical shields.



I do not know who the standard contractors are for NY state - your best bet may be to look on the back of the sign for a manufacturing sticker.  Here in CA, Safeway Sign identifies their product.

If anyone has any Utah beehive signs, then I'd see into some things.

there was one on eBay just now; did you acquire it?  I also know some people who have the occasional modern beehive for sale.

[Rover_0]

Are you talking about the UT-184A (now UT-284) sign?  So far, that's the only one on Ebay that's up for sale, and yet it's $75.  Are these people you know on Ebay, AgentSteel?

I thought that one sold, and the US-30S by the same seller did not - unless we're referring to different ones.  Can you link me to the 184A?

The people I'm thinking of are generally not on eBay.  Trying to remember if they have any beehives... I'll have to inquire.  Want me to?

[Rover_0]

Yea, sure.  Let me know what route numbers they do have, and what prices they have.  I'd especially like to see about if they have any old UT-4 (temporary I-70), UT-1 (temp. I-15), UT-15 (now UT-9), or UT-8 beehive signs.  Thanks in advance.

Ohio interstate 90 shield here on eBay:

state-named Ohios are not an easy to find.  This is, I believe, a 1968.  Certainly 1960s.

I think I've seen that Ebay seller's name somewhere before.

Nahhhhh....a mere cosmic coincidence!

[agentsteel53]

for every person that does not bid on that sign, I will delete their account.

[BigMattFromTexas]

I wish I was a billionaire, I'd just bud like $1000 on that sign
