I-694 MN 1961 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass

This shot glass features a classic representation of an Interstate highway sign, meticulously crafted to evoke the aesthetic of 1961 Minnesota road signage. The design pays homage to the early days of the Interstate system, reflecting a time of significant infrastructure development and the rise of car culture.

Design Elements

The central element is the iconic Interstate shield, a blue emblem with white numerals "694." Above, a bold red banner proudly proclaims "INTERSTATE." This immediately identifies the route as part of the national highway network. Below the shield, the state abbreviation "MN" (for Minnesota) is incorporated, providing regional context and clarity.

Historical Context

The sign's style is intentionally reminiscent of the signs used around 1961. The inclusion of the "MN" abbreviation is a detail often found in early Minnesota Interstate signage. The overall presentation is designed to mimic the rectangular backboards common in urban and suburban settings where these signs would have been displayed, bringing an authentic feel to the design.

Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era. The highway sign embodies a sense of travel, progress, and the open road, representing the connection between communities and the flow of traffic throughout Minnesota. It's a tribute to the legacy of the Interstate 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.
