The artwork centers around a meticulously crafted U.S. Route shield, specifically depicting \"US 48\". This shield isn't just a number; it's a visual nod to an early, short-lived highway that once ran through California, connecting San Jose to French Camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe 1961 Cutout Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe design adheres to the California-style specifications of the 1961 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This means the shield features a distinctive \"cutout\" style, a detail that sets it apart. The shield's shape is the traditional U.S. highway shield, without a rectangular backing, highlighting its authentic and retro aesthetic. The numerals are presented in a specific font, adhering to the 1961 standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eA Historical Tribute\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe \"US 48\" in this design represents a specific era and a vanished route. Given that US 48 in California was decommissioned by 1931, the design is a modern artistic tribute, not a direct replica of an existing sign from that era. Its presence evokes the spirit of historical road signage, making it an engaging conversation starter for those who appreciate design and transportation history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":50997329264920,"sku":"54353386319856495668","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/us-48-1961-cutout-california-road-sign-pint-glss-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
