Wisconsin

Here is an older WI marker with the now unused "WIS" above the numerals. This sign is near Byron on County E.

WI-32 is the Red Arrow Highway to commemorate the 32nd Red Arrow Division that fought in W.W.II. (MI also has a Red Arrow Highway, since the division was made up of men from both states.

Standard WI-57 marker. Note that there is no "WIS" lettering.

Janesville has a bunch of these unique City US-14 markers on what is now known as Business US-14 thru town. I originally thought these may have been posted by the City or County, but I saw a state standard wooden sign at the north end of town (WI uses a wood base plate for multiple markers instead if separate aluminum blanks). This lead me to believe they were posted by the State, and a few of the stragglers are still around. There are no ownership stickers on the rear of these signs as well. Some are very faded, they were all a bright yellow or gold, but some are now almost all white.

Typical US and State markers in Milwaukee

Unique US-41 marker in Milwaukee. This was probably posted by the city or county.

I found this and the following 1940's or 50's signs in an antique store.

Above is WI-42, which ran from Kenosha to Washington Island (Door County). The section south of Two Rivers is now WI-32 in commemoration of the Red Arrow 32nd Division that fought in W.W.II.

The signs are made of plywood. They make great wall candy.

Michigan

	I found this steel 1930's MI US-41 marker in an antique store in Volo IL.
	North of Ypsilanti MI is an older style MI-153 marker. This had once been US-12.
	Same road, different direction. Now, why is the WEST banner so high? Could this have been Alternate MI-153 or something?
	A new sign but an old style. This is near Cadilac Square, the start of all things highway in Detroit.
	The Iron Brigade Memorial Highway follows part of US-12 in MI.
	The current US-12 was actually US-112 at first, and after I-94 was built, US-12 was moved to US-112's road, and US-112 was removed. During it's US-112 days there were several reroutings and this sign is evidence of that. (Near Bronson)
	The Red Arrow Highway commemorates the Red Arrow 32nd Army Brigade that was comprised of members from WI and MI. The original US-12 (and now unnumbered) road from New Buffalo to Kalamazoo was dedicated to the Red Arrow brigade, and the signs use it's distinct arrow as a designator. WI-32 also commemorates the Red Arrow Brigade.
	The Red Arrow Highway starts at New Buffalo (Above) and heads north towards Benton Harbor before heading east to Kalamazoo.
	This marker is near the Ford headquarters in Dearborn.
	The first US-12 marker near Cadilac Square in Detroit. US-12 has since been extended east a bit to Jefferson Av (MI-3)
	An old (but still present) assembly with 3 unique signs. The Lodge Freeway is now MI-10. The "TO US-12" sign is unusual, as is the "To Spur I-96" sign. This assembly is just inside Detroit from the Ambassador Bridge to Windsor.
	Ron Wilbanks says this is as close to perfectly shaped as a current US marker can get. Ron needs a hobby.
	In Ypsilanti MI there is a "Business US-12" that takes the old road after US-12 was rerouted to the Willow Run Expressway.

Missouri

US-400 and US-166 both start here at I-44 just inside the border from Oklahoma. Kansas is just a few hundred feet away as well.

Kansas

Bridge plate on the old US-66 bridge (below) near Galena.

Kansas has the shortest section of US-66 than any other state, but they promote and preserve it better. For the 27 miles of road, it has more signs and markers than other states.

In front of the Galena Historical Museum (In the former Katy Depot). Notice the mighty fine vehicle hidden behind the pole...

The above mentioned museum.

Kansas's US-66 association also paints US-66 signs on the pavement, if the signs aren't enough. Nice touch.

Kansas uses standard Alternate ribbons for Alternate routes. Neighboring OK uses a unique shield shaped sign with "Alternate" within the shield.

The road geek community is all abuzz over the new US-400 that has appeared in MO, KS, and CO. US-400 starts at I-44 just inside of Missouri and follows existing roads west thru southern Kansas into Colorado. The best guess is that this is a consolation prize instead of an Interstate thru hear.

Kansas uses a gold sunflower on the state route markers. KS-66 is part of the former US-66.

Oklahoma

Unique to Oklahoma Alternate US-69 marker.

Texas

Texas uses its own version of the historic Route 66 marker.
