Description
Step into the golden age of motoring with a striking recreation of early California auto club signage. Before the state installed its own road signs, private auto clubs led the way, and in Northern California, the California State Automobile Association set the standard. This Grass Valley, Nevada City, Auburn design captures that legacy, featuring the three historic destinations along State Route 49 in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Own a piece of that history today. Our Grass Valley, Nevada City, Auburn sign is made to the exact 1919 CSAA specification, complete with sharp corners, period-correct layout, and the association’s logo and name placed just as they were over a century ago. Later designs rounded off the corners for safety reasons, but this version stays true to the bold, original look that defined the era.
Don’t settle for cheap imitations. This is a premium, heavy steel remake with a rich, high-gloss finish that mirrors the appearance of the original early 1910s porcelain signs. Inferior copies may cost less, but they fall far short in craftsmanship, materials, and accuracy. Here, you get none of the thin metal, incorrect fonts, or flawed proportions—only a meticulously crafted sign that stands up to close inspection by even the most discerning collector. Make it yours now and elevate your collection with a piece that commands attention.
Our Grass Valley, Nevada City, Auburn sign can be installed indoors or outdoors. It includes two pre-drilled mounting holes for easy installation. It’s available in both the original size (29.026 in. × 22.944 in. measured from point to point along the long axis) and a scaled down version for more economical display (17.395 in. × 13.75 in.).
