(1975) Missouri still puts the state name on its interstate signs. The particular sign is a larger 36" sign (Photo by Michael Summa). |

(1978) Great older assembly from Missouri featuring a pre-1960's cutout US highway marker. (Photo by Michael Summa). |

(1964) Interesting US-66 sign posted along with an I-44 sign. I believe that this style sign was used exclusively on interstate highways. (Photo from AASHO - The First Fifty Years 1914-1964). |

Older standard cutout US highway shield from the 50's or early 60's. Missouri appears to have switched to modern looking US signs by 1970. This sign is 16.5 x 16" with Scotchlite reflectorization. Unlike most signs which had switched to aluminum by this time, this sign is made of steel (Photo from Michael Summa). |

Precursor to the BUSINESS route was the CITY route. Missouri was one of several states that painted its city US route signs yellow. This sign is porcelain and probably dates from the 1920's or 30's (Collection of Robert Edgar). |

(November 1995) Older style sign hanging in Trenton, MO. There was one of these signs on every block! This series was used from the early 1930's into the 1960's. These signs had Scotchlite reflectorization. |

(1964) This is how the sign above was shown on older green freeway signs, along with the supplimental state highway sign. (Photo from AASHO The First Fifty Years 1914 - 1964) |

1920's era state route sign. These were phased out either in 1929 or 1930 according to Official State Highway maps. Unfortunately, this sign is rusted, but the original paint scheme was black on orange (Featured on Ebay - owner unknown). |
 |
Another 20's era state route 'sign' painted on the side of a bridge. Again, the color scheme is black on orange (Photo from AASHO The First Fifty Years 1914 - 1964). |

(November 2001) Current style state supplementary sign. The letters repeat from county to county. They can be single or double letters (A or AA). |

Similar sign to the one above, except it uses the pre-1948 square fonts. This sign is dated AUG 1960 on back and uses crushed glass reflectorization. (Photo by Michael Summa) |
