Los Angeles’ distinctive “shotgun” street signs were last produced over sixty years ago, but many are still in use all over the city, by both humans and birds, who like to build nests between the panels. Since these metal panels were only manufactured in one size, the street names were drawn at wildly different widths to fit.

Many of the U.S.’ early roads were unmarked until local auto clubs began installing wooden signs to help drivers find their way. Before long, the signs were made with more durable porcelain enamel on steel. Auto club members traveled the roads of California with paint and brushes to touch up dents and scratches. When the U.S. Department of Public Works standardized highway signage in the late 1940s, these delightfully idiosyncratic California signs were replaced.

When the NFL’s Rams moved from Cleveland to Los Angeles in 1946, they became the first professional sports team west of the Mississippi. Public pressure led the Rams to sign UCLA stars Kenny Washington & Woody Strode, becoming the first pro sports team in the United States to re-integrate, a full year before baseball's Dodgers signed their Bruin teammate Jackie Robinson.

Los Angeles’ distinctive “shotgun” street signs were last produced over sixty years ago, but many are still in use all over the city, by both humans and birds, who like to build nests between the panels.

Since these metal panels were only manufactured in one size, the street names were drawn at wildly different widths to fit.

Beachwood faithfully captures the many widths & weights of these lovely vintage signs, along with a new matching lowercase.
