Appalachian Trail Signs

[Tim Rich]

Just to let everyone know that I now sell AT and Pacific Crest Trail signs on Ebay. Just search Appalachina Trail signs. I have new ones on there all the time, or if you have any suggestions let me know. Thanks

That's some nice work.

Using that barn wood and making it about 28 inches wide and 24 inches tall, with a couple 1x4's behind it to hold the planks together, how much would a reduced size version of the Katahdin summit sign run?

Nice!! What about taking a bundle of them the Trail Days? they may also be a hot item at outfitters along the trails?

I currently sell them at Mahoney's outfitters in Johnson City Tn.

Trail days wants too much $ to sell there plus there's the whole tax number, state tax etc.. to deal with.

I just sold one on Ebay and it was 24x28. Can't make it any smaller and get the wording on it. They sell for $100.

You should offer your services to the TEHCC. I am sure they would welcome your handiwork. Unfortunately, there are too many idiots out there that destroy beautiful signs like yours. I restored an Iron Mountain Gap sign made by Clyde Smith for who the shelter is named and is is now in the AT Museum.

I did offer,,, no reply from them .

That 24 by 28 sign, is it several of those pieces of wood put together, or is it a single piece of wood 24 by 28? Can you make the sign as shown in the photo, (showing total miles at 2160) which I think is the one that was taken down last July?

Thanks,

There was once a time when advertising selling a commercial product - as opposed to used gear - was discouraged here on WhiteBlaze. Has that time passed?

Yes, two years back I went head to head with what I thought was a chinese reseller, turned out to be a guy making stuff in his garage... So yes I was told to let it go for the good of the community.

Nice job on those signs....

Yep, I can put any mileage you want on it. Let me know and I will give you my private email so we can discuss details.

I'm looking for one of these:

How much for a full size one (they are about 10" high which is a guess.) I have the CDT and PCT which someone painted for me but never got an AT one.
YOu can PM me with a price if you would.
Thanks.

New sign. !

Now that I look at the picture again, I can see the sign has been altered (not by me). Even Swinging Lick is funny, though.

I picked up several AT signs from Randy this week. The craftsmanship is great, and the barnwood and distressed painting makes them seem authentically trail worn. I had one in my back seat and actually wondered if a park ranger would buy my story if I told them it was a replica and not stolen.

Thanks,
