N-38B 1926 (Nebraska) Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey Through Nebraska's Past

This sticker presents a faithful visual replica of the N-38B Nebraska road sign from 1926, offering a glimpse into the early days of automotive travel and state highway systems.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The design adheres to the classic 1926 style, a tangible representation of Nebraska's original road network. The primary element is a shield, likely white or yellow, with bold, black lettering. The stark contrast between the background and the lettering ensures high visibility, a crucial factor for a sign guiding travelers.

The prominent display of "38B" within the shield signifies that this route served as a branch or alternate alignment of the main N-38 highway. The inclusion of the "N" prefix clarifies its status as a Nebraska state highway, part of the infrastructure meant to connect communities and support the burgeoning automobile age.

Mounted on a solid square or rectangular backboard (implied, not explicit in the visual representation), this design conveyed the purpose of N-38B—to provide essential connections to towns and regions that were not directly on the primary N-38 route. It is a symbol of secondary routes, serving to support the main thoroughfare and enable greater access throughout the state.

This decal is a visual testament to the early 20th century's vision for a connected Nebraska, where secondary routes played a pivotal role in the state's growth and development. It invites viewers to contemplate the evolution of transportation and the enduring legacy of early highway design.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
