Big numbers and nothing else: that’s the Hartford estate one line plaque. It takes up to five numbers at 7 inches tall, which is as large as the staked signs go. The Hartford is a classic, understated design, so the number does all the talking. It’s a frequent choice for homes set far back, for properties on busy roads, and for anyone who has watched an ambulance or a delivery truck drive past.

Seven inches, seen from the street

Most house numbers are too small. Seven-inch numerals fix that. They’re legible from a car at normal speed, in the rain, and at dusk when porch numbers have disappeared. If your lot is shallower, the standard Hartford may be plenty, but the Hartford estate one line plaque is the one for distance.

Hartford estate one line plaque color list

Eleven finishes are available: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Black/White, Bronze/Gold, Green/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter/Silver, Red/Gold, and White/Gold. In the photo, the numbers are gold on a dark bronze field. Black/White or Black/Gold will give the most contrast at distance. Green/Gold and Red/Gold suit a house with matching trim or shutters.

Made from recycled aluminum

The sign is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, and aluminum won’t rust. An all-weather protective coating over the casting is covered by a five-year warranty. The numbers are cast into the sign, so they won’t loosen or drop off. Because the piece is cast to your order, a Hartford estate one line plaque can’t be changed, cancelled, or returned once placed. Check the digits twice.

If you’d like the street name too, the two-line Hartford estate puts a 17-character line under 4.5-inch numbers. Every staked style is listed under lawn address plaques, and once the sign is in the yard, the plaque care page covers how to keep it clean.
