About Vintage Travel and Highway Signs

The highways built America (after the railroads), and truly vintage highway signs are treasured by collectors. If you can find an authentic one, that is - this is probably one of the categories most rife with reproductions (e.g. "Route 66"). Porcelain signs are the most sought after (especially those with original cats-eye marble reflectors), followed by tin signs, then other materials. State highway signs and travel club signs are sought by collectors, and even old restroom signs can be collectible.
