Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5 New York City East River Drive route marker. Up for sale today is this East River Drive route sign. Made to the exact 1936 state standard, as used at the original opening of the first segment of road to be constructed. the road was built in segments and by the time it was completed in 1955, it had been renamed to the Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive. the original signs of course did not mention the name of who was then the sitting president - the title was added in 1946 after his death. An original of these is very rare to find; just about all of them were replaced with the FDR version by the late 1940s. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and is the correct size for the early years: 16 by 20 inches. (if you are interested in the larger, more modern variants with FDR in the title, I can certainly make those too!) 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 older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates.
