Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE November 24 Welcome to Brooklyn city limit sign. Up for sale today is this Welcome to Brooklyn sign. A sign just like this one hung on the Belt Parkway exit off the Verrazzano Bridge for many years - this is the 1976 version with the 50 stars added around the border for the bicentennial. Sebastian Leone, shown as borough president, served from 1970 to 1976. The sign shown here is an exact copy of the original sign, with the correct colors and layout and even the old style hand-painted lettering. An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; this sign style has been out of service since the early 1980s. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble... or a hernia. The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 3 pounds 4 ounces. the old signs in use in the field are much more colossal - this one is a precise rescaling of the freeway style sign down to a much more manageable 16 x 8 inch size. It is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. (If you would like a larger size version, please ask as I can certainly make one!) 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 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.
