I-80N OH 1961 (Ohio) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Overview

This shot glass features a classic piece of Americana: the I-80N highway sign as it appeared in Ohio during the early 1960s. The design perfectly captures the aesthetic of the burgeoning Interstate Highway System, a network that reshaped the American landscape and the way people traveled.

A Slice of Roadway History

The artwork replicates the iconic shield-shaped road sign. The design’s structure, with its deliberate split of color, represents the separation between the road number and the state identifier. “INTERSTATE” is emblazoned in bold white letters, commanding attention in the red upper portion. Below, "OHIO" sits proudly in white, announcing the state to passing motorists.

The Northbound Distinction

The focal point of the design is the large white numerals "80N" that appear prominently on the blue portion of the sign. The "N" signifies that this was the northern split of I-80, the designation used before directional suffixes were removed in favor of a unified numbering system. This "N" provides an important context, a snapshot in time, offering a nostalgic look back to when the Interstate system was first evolving.

Color and Symbolism

The color scheme is equally significant. The striking combination of red and blue, with white lettering, offers high contrast for visibility, in accordance with the standards of the time. The shield shape is a direct reference to the national highway system, and the bold text is both a statement of purpose and a marker of American advancement and infrastructural development.

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.
