OH-102 1927 (Ohio) Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey Through Ohio's Past

This decal presents a faithful visual representation of the original OH-102 road sign, dating back to 1927, offering a glimpse into the early days of Ohio's state highway system. The design is a direct translation of the sign, reflecting the simplicity and utilitarian aesthetic common in the 1920s.

Design Elements and Representation

The design adheres strictly to the historical specifications. A pristine white square forms the base, serving as a clean canvas for the bold, straightforward typography. At the top, the word "OHIO" is emblazoned in stark black, block letters, immediately establishing the state of origin. Beneath, a thin horizontal line visually separates the state's name from the route designation.

The route number "102" is rendered in a large, centered, and equally bold black numeral. This numerical presence is the central visual element, directly communicating the specific highway designation. The design is devoid of any embellishments, emphasizing the practicality and the essential function of the sign: to clearly and immediately identify a particular state route.

Meaning and Symbolism

The sign itself is a relic of a bygone era, carrying historical symbolism. The OH-102 sign design represents the initial phase of standardized highway marking in Ohio. Its simple design is a testament to early road-building efforts, reflecting a pragmatic focus on functionality. The stark contrast of black on white provides a clear visual signal meant for rapid recognition, essential for navigation.

This design serves as a visual portal to a time of early motoring, when roadways were being established and a standardized system of identification was taking form. It symbolizes the historical development of Ohio's transportation infrastructure and a tangible connection to the state's past.

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.
