I-91 MA 1957 (Massachusetts) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a vibrant and historically significant design, replicating the original 1957 Interstate shield used to mark Interstate 91 in Massachusetts. The artwork pays homage to the early days of the Interstate Highway System, an era of ambitious infrastructure development that reshaped the American landscape.

Visual Elements

The design adheres to the classic 1957 Interstate shield specifications. A bold red band across the top boldly proclaims “INTERSTATE” in crisp white lettering, a hallmark of the system. Below, the main field presents a deep blue background, providing a striking contrast to the prominently displayed number "91" in clean white block numerals.

A white outline neatly frames the entire shield, providing definition and visual clarity. Depending on the specific sign variation, the design may also include "MASSACHUSETTS" either above or below the route number, firmly establishing the location. A separate banner indicating NORTH or SOUTH, in alignment with directional signage, would also be displayed.

Meaning and Symbolism

The I-91 Massachusetts shield is more than just a number; it is a symbol of connectivity and the growth of transportation in post-war America. The colors, chosen by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (now the Federal Highway Administration), were selected for their high visibility and legibility, even in challenging conditions. The shield signifies the north-south corridor that became crucial to the economic and social fabric of western Massachusetts, connecting communities and facilitating trade and travel. The inclusion of "INTERSTATE" represents a national system and a commitment to standardized routes.

The 1957 style carries an inherent nostalgia, evoking memories of a time of optimism, progress, and a shared vision of a more accessible America.

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.
