US Highway Route Shield Sign Page

 Proud ALPCA Member # 9680 E-bay member since Saturday, Jul 03, 1999
Faked or non Original US 66 shields!!!! There has been a rash of faked or non-original US 66 signs coming up for sale on e-bay recently being sold as originals and the buyers have paid heavily for these. It's a shame this is happening. I have included pictures below for you to see what these non-original signs look like. Maybe this will save someone the heartache of shelling out hard earned money for junk. The first picture is of a cast aluminum shield 11in by 11in in size. These were actually movie props came in different sizes with different dates cast into the rear and I interviewed the maker of these back in 1978 who worked for a movie studio. The Second and Third pictures are of a modern reproduction porcelain sign that someone added reflectors too this sign also measures around 11in by 11in. The Forth and Fifth pictures are of an repro 22" steel 66 with reflectors added. The Sixth picture is of an 24 "aluminum reproduction that reflectors were added too. The Seventh and Eighth pictures are of an original New mexico US 60 that some one cut the 0 out of and added a 6 onto in an attempt to make it an US66 sign. You can see the weld mark's around the 6 in the picture. The Ninth picture is of an modern day heavy steel embossed reproduction New Mexico 16" by 16" shield that has been aged in appearance to make it look old. The 10th picture is of a non original reproduction Illinois US 66 sign that was aged this sign sold on e-bay today I hope this information is useful for those wanting to to buy an authentic sign and not these fakes or reproductions being sold as originals. California US 99 Shield Reproductions Warning!!!! Warning to all US Shield collectors and enthusiasts. There are California US 99 shields being reproduced and being sold as originals. I sent out an e-mail a couple weeks ago about these signs being made and since then I have received e-mails from people whom have purchased these signs being told that they were original signs when purchased. Please be aware!! I have a few pictures here for your review. These are a fairly nice reproduction and should be marked reproduction or replica on the back in the porcelain, but no such markings are seen. Look out for future ACSC US395 ACSC US66 CSAA US40 shield reproductions from California. Please contact me if you need help authenticating before buying I will be more than happy to help out. Here are some pictures of these reproduction Calif US 99 shields. Attention US Route Shield Collectors I would like to offer my FREE AUTHENTICATION SERVICE to any one looking to buy an ORIGINAL US Highway shield sign especially the US66 numbered US Route.
