Illinois 130A (1926) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a compelling piece of Illinois history in its design: the Illinois Route 130A road sign. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original sign, a visual nod to the state's early highway system.

The Iconic State Outline

At the heart of the design is the unmistakable silhouette of the state of Illinois. This element immediately establishes the sign's origin and connects the viewer to the specific geographical area the route served. The state outline acts as a frame, containing the core informational elements.

Route Number and Historical Context

Central to the design is the number "130A," prominently displayed within the state's boundaries. This signifies Illinois Route 130A, a historic spur or alternate route that branched from the main Illinois Route 130. The "A" suffix, used in Illinois for such routes, adds a layer of historical information, indicating the route's secondary status within the broader highway network.

The inclusion of "(1926)" subtly yet effectively situates the design within the context of the early U.S. Highway System and the formalization of Illinois's road marker system. This detail provides historical context and hints at the era when this route was established.

A Symbol of the Past

The design serves as a tangible link to a bygone era of Illinois's transportation history. It's a reminder of a time when the state was developing its highway infrastructure, and route markers like this one guided travelers across the landscape. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for classic roadside Americana and the evolution of transportation in the state.

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.
