Idaho 96 1955 Shot Glass: A Slice of Roadside History

This shot glass features a classic piece of Americana: the graphic design for the Idaho State Highway 96 route marker, as it appeared in 1955. The artwork captures the essence of mid-20th-century highway signage, a visual echo of a bygone era of travel.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central design element is the iconic shield shape, a near-square that evokes a sense of solidity and permanence. Within the shield, the outline of Idaho itself, or a key element thereof, is prominently featured, instantly conveying the state's identity. The bold route number "96" is clearly displayed, marking the specific highway route.

Above the route number, the word "IDAHO" is elegantly presented, further reinforcing the state's association with the route. This integrated design is a hallmark of the Idaho Transportation Department's (ITD) standard for state highway route markers during the mid-1950s.

The artwork represents more than just a road sign; it's a nostalgic symbol of a specific period in American history. It speaks to a time when road trips were a national pastime, and highway signage was a common, recognizable part of the landscape. It represents the history of transportation.

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.
