Texas 130 1917 Road Sign Decal: A Glimpse into Texas's Motoring Past

This vinyl kiss-cut decal recreates the iconic look of the Texas 130 road sign from 1917, a pivotal year in Texas transportation history. The design captures the essence of the first statewide numbered highway network, a milestone that significantly shaped the state's infrastructure and travel experience.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The artwork centers around a bold "130," the numerical designation of State Highway 130 during its initial deployment. This number, rendered in a crisp, clear font, symbolizes the crucial role the highway played in connecting Texas towns and regional centers, fostering a network of accessibility that facilitated both local and through traffic. The simple, direct style of the numerals reflects the era's functional approach to road signage.

The color scheme, either black numerals against a white backdrop or vice versa (depending on the specific batch), adheres to the historically accurate design specifications of the time. These high-contrast combinations ensured the sign was easily visible to early motorists traversing the evolving road system, particularly under varying light conditions. The contrasting colors, and the potential inclusion of the word "TEXAS" or "TX", represented the state's pride and identity. The shapes, whether circular or rectangular, were early attempts at a unified branding for navigating the state.

The design as a whole is a visual nod to the early days of automotive travel in Texas. The design embodies the spirit of exploration and the ambition of creating a modern infrastructure in the state, making this decal a window into a pivotal era of Texas history.

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.
