Colorado 173 1926 Road Sign Shot Glass Design

A Slice of Colorado History

This shot glass design faithfully recreates the iconic look of the 1926 Colorado State Highway 173 road sign, a piece of Americana dating back to the dawn of numbered highway systems.

Vintage Aesthetics

The design features a stark and simple aesthetic, mirroring the rudimentary manufacturing techniques of the mid-1920s. The artwork is dominated by a black background, a common color scheme for early signage, providing a striking contrast to the white lettering.

Symbolism and Representation

The design's centerpiece is the white text arrangement. The word "COLORADO" proudly arcs across the top, marking the state, and is followed by the bold, white number "173", which denotes the specific state highway. This design represents a specific time in Colorado's history when the state was just beginning to mark its highways with numbered routes, and each sign was hand-stenciled or enameled, with the simple yet effective design being an important symbol.

Historical Authenticity

The artwork strives to faithfully represent the rectangular shape outline that mirrors the state's geography. It is the visual embodiment of Colorado's early road-marking efforts, capturing the essence of a bygone era in transportation.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
