Cutout Nevada US highway sign. The border is embossed and the rest is silkscreened. This has reflective crushed-glass coating which is making the sign appear whiter than it really is. These were phased in around 1948. (Collection of Robert Edgar) |

California had a tendancy to influence its surrounding states when it came to traffic control devices and this is a perfect example. This porcelain sign is similar to the signs of the California Highway Division during the late 40's and 50's. It appears to be a short-lived series. (Owner Unknown) |

Current state road sign. These were modified recently - the bottom of the state shape is now just a simple curve. Signs immediately preceding this style showed more detail of the Colorado River and used a larger "NEVADA". This sign is aluminum and uses high intensity sheeting. (My collection) |

This style sign was used during the 1950's and 60's. The border appears to be embossed while the rest of the features are silkscreened. (Photo by Michael Summa) |

Porcelain state route sign from the 1940's. When these signs were shot, the porcelain would shatter, as is evidenced by this sign featured on Ebay. The logo at the bottom left reads "STATE OF NEVADA - DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS" (Owner Unknown) |
