Utah US Route 6 highway marker sign

Description

When you see a highway number that doesn’t match the others in the area, it’s usually a sign something weird happened. That certainly describes US Route 6 in Utah, the only one-digit US route in the state. Because of the grid system US route numbers are assigned by, a number that low would be expected to be found very far from Utah—in Massachusetts, specifically. But, from east to west, many shorter route numbers were gradually chained together to form one long one. By 1936, the increasingly-lengthy US 6 reached Utah, cutting across the central part of the state. US 6 would eventually reach as far as Los Angeles, and the whole thing was named the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, after the organization formed to support Union veterans after the Civil War.

Own a piece of Western highway history with our replica Utah US Route 6 signs, meticulously recreated for serious collectors and passionate road enthusiasts alike. This premium Utah US Route 6 shield is available in two versions: the iconic 1936 design, used the year the highway was first extended into Utah, and the 1950 Utah state standard. Both feature the correct custom fonts used by the state of Utah, rather than the federal-standard fonts now in use.

Original examples of a Utah US Route 6 sign in either style would command hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars if one ever surfaced on the market. Now is your opportunity to own a museum-quality display piece for a fraction of that cost. Don’t settle for flimsy reproductions or bargain imitations. This sign is crafted from heavy 14-gauge steel, delivering exceptional weight, durability, and visual authenticity that cheap tin copies simply cannot match. The fonts, proportions, layout, shape—every detail is spot-on. Even the most discerning collector will find themselves leaning in for a closer look, because it truly looks that good.

Proudly made in the USA, our Utah US Route 6 signs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor display and built to last for decades. It is available in the following sizes:

• 12⅜ in. × 12 in. (a scaled-down size perfect for home-decor needs)
