Historic California US 101 Route Metal Sign - 12" x 18"

The artwork presents a weathered California US route marker with a deep rust-red field, cream block lettering, and the familiar cream-and-black highway shield centered in the composition. Large HISTORIC typography stretches across the top, CALIFORNIA sits inside the shield, and the bold 101 numerals anchor the lower portion with the blunt clarity of classic traffic graphics. Scratches, stains, rubbed corners, and uneven surface marks are part of the printed image, giving the piece an aged road-marker look. The large shield and oversized lettering make the design feel direct and graphic, closer to highway department utility than polished advertising art. As a US 101 sign reproduction, it nods to the highway's California identity and the route culture tied to roadside Americana.
