Nob Hill Sign Bracket – Used by City
Governments for Over 75 Years
As you can see from this old ad from 3M for their Scotchlite reflective sheeting, our cast iron Nob Hill fixtures have been in service for over 75 years.
Professionals know that the weakest point of any street sign is the bracket. We are often asked how so many street signs are stolen.
A common technique is to try to tear off the sign from the bracket. Typically, someone climbs onto the back of another (and, many city works officials suspect that alcohol may be a factor) and then his “colleague” grabs a hold of the edge of the sign and starts to jump and down.
Many competitive brackets break.
But, the Nob Hill bracket and street sign system is much, much stronger. Frankly, this bracket is “over-engineered”. After hearing of countless failed attempts from our customers (bits of gloves, blood and, even, skin) are to be believed, we have been told that our sign bracket virtually impossible to break.
The Nob Hill sign bracket comes in two variations: a two way sign blade bracket (that holds just a sign pointing in one direction) or a four-way sign blade (that shows crossing sign blades).
