I-680 IA 1961 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a faithful reproduction of the original I-680 road sign design as it appeared in Iowa in 1961. The artwork encapsulates a piece of American transportation history, celebrating the establishment of the Interstate Highway System.

The Iconic Shield

At the heart of the design is the classic Interstate shield. The familiar shape, with its distinctive red top, white numerals, and blue background, is immediately recognizable as a symbol of the U.S. Interstate Highway System. The number "680," prominently displayed in crisp white numerals, signifies this specific bypass route.

Color and Font

The design adheres to the original color specifications from the 1961 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The vibrant red of the top portion is based on Pantone Red 187, while the blue background mirrors Pantone Blue 294. The font used is the Roadgeek 2005 series, a contemporary yet faithful adaptation of the original Interstate typeface, ensuring accuracy and historical integrity.

A Slice of History

This design serves as a tribute to the early days of the Interstate system, reflecting the design standards that guided the construction and signage of these vital roadways. It pays homage to the planning and infrastructure development that shaped modern transportation in America, and commemorates the historic designation of I-680 in Iowa.

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.
