Rural mail carriers, visiting nurses, and anyone with a GPS that stops a house early all benefit from a sign that names the street. The Hartford estate two line plaque gives the street its own line: up to 17 characters at 2 inches, under a house number of up to five numerals at 4.5 inches. Seventeen characters is generous, so most street names fit in full.

Two lines that each do a job

The 4.5-inch number is sized to be read from the road. The 2-inch street line is larger than on most two-line signs, so it can be read from the road too, not just from the walk. That matters on country roads where there is no sidewalk and nobody gets out to check, which is where the Hartford estate two line plaque earns its place.

Eleven finishes on the Hartford estate two line plaque

Pick from Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Black/White, Bronze/Gold, Green/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter/Silver, Red/Gold, or White/Gold. The photo shows Black/Gold reading 3749 Market Street. Black/White pushes contrast further. The brass, copper, and bronze finishes blend in with masonry.

What it’s made of

Every Hartford is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum. It won’t rust, and its all-weather protective coating is covered by a five-year warranty. The text on both lines is cast into the sign. Because it’s permanent, read the street name back against an envelope before you order. A Hartford estate two line plaque can’t be modified, cancelled, or returned once the order is placed.

For the number alone at a larger 7 inches, see the one-line Hartford estate. The complete set of staked designs is under lawn address plaques, and if the sign belongs on the house, look through the wall-mounted address plaques instead.
