Illinois 132 1950 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to the historical road signage of Illinois Route 132, specifically referencing the year 1950. The artwork directly emulates the iconic road signs that would have marked this important thoroughfare in northeastern Illinois during the mid-20th century.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element of the design is a faithful reproduction of the Illinois Route 132 shield. The design utilizes the classic style of state route signage, most likely dating to the late 50s or early 60s, with "ILLINOIS" displayed prominently at the top in a bold, sans-serif font. Beneath, the route number "132" is rendered in a substantial, easy-to-read font. The numbers, typically bold and centered, would have been the primary identifier for the route at the time.

This graphic directly refers to the year 1950. That was the year the route designation of IL 132 was officially established along Grand Avenue. A graphic depiction of a sign from that era would hold significant meaning for those interested in Illinois history, road design, or vintage transportation.

Meaning and Symbolism

The presence of the "Illinois 132" shield is a clear symbol of navigation and transportation within Lake County, Illinois. It represents the historical road, and evokes the experience of driving along Grand Avenue (IL 132), as it's been known for decades. For the owner, this design acts as a reminder of the route and its place within the broader network of Illinois highways and transportation infrastructure.

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.
