California (CSAA) State Route 32 highway sign

Description

California State Route 32 is a highway in Northern California, first added to the system in 1934. From its inception to the present day, it has run between Orland and Deer Creek Meadows, through Chico. Originally, it connected US Highways 99W and 99E (now Interstate 5 and State Route 99 respectively), before heading northeast into the mountains and Lassen National Forest. It ends near Chester at the intersection with State Route 36 and State Route 89.

Our California State Route 32 sign is a precise replica of the earliest signs that were used to mark this historic highway. This style was manufactured and installed by the California State Automobile Association between 1932 and 1940. It features the route number in black on a white background, with a silhouette of a California grizzly in the top point of the spade. The words “STATE HIGHWAY” appear below the route number, and at the very bottom is the diamond-shaped CSAA logo. While signs in this style do circulate on the collector’s market, you may be waiting quite a while to find a 32 specifically. When you do, it is likely to command a substantial premium due to both age and scarcity. With our faithful replica, you get a home decor item just as fantastic as the original, at a fraction of the price.

Our California State Route 32 highway sign is printed in the United States on heavy 14-gauge steel. Its durable, high-gloss coating bears a close resemblance to the porcelain used on the originals. It’s just as durable, too, allowing the sign to be installed outdoors, even in the heavy snows of the northern Sierra. Mounting holes are included to make installation easy. The sign is the same size as the original—15½ in. × 17¼ in.
