I-35W MN 1961 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Design Overview

This shot glass features a meticulously crafted representation of the 1961 I-35W road sign, an iconic piece of Minnesota's highway history. The design adheres to the classic early Interstate shield style of the 1960s, a design instantly recognizable to those familiar with American road signs.

Artwork and Visual Elements

At the top, a vibrant red banner displays the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, echoing the directive nature of the highway system. Below, the design features the central element of the shield, a large, rectangular blue field. Bold white numerals "35W" dominate this field. The "W" is a critical element, denoting the western branch of Interstate 35 as it navigates through Minneapolis, Minnesota. A clean white border surrounds the entire design, providing a sharp contrast and enhancing visibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

This shot glass design celebrates the historical significance of the I-35W route. The sign represents the early days of the Interstate Highway System in Minnesota, a time of rapid expansion and infrastructural development. The "W" designation symbolizes the strategic division of I-35 to accommodate traffic flow through the Twin Cities, offering a bypass that connected suburban areas. Owning this design signifies appreciation for road history and the enduring legacy of the American highway system.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
