Illinois 134 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by vintage Illinois highway signage from the 1926 era. The artwork prominently displays "Illinois 134," evoking the visual identity of a state route marker from a bygone era.

A Nod to Highway History

The "1926" designation is key. It doesn't necessarily indicate that Illinois Route 134 existed then, but rather, the design pays homage to the styling of the U.S. Numbered Highway System which was adopted in 1926, and the early Illinois State Bond Issue (SBI) routes that were developed in the 1910s and 1920s. This includes the distinct shapes, fonts, and materials (often enamel or steel) of the era's road signs. The design cleverly integrates the present-day route number with the historical aesthetic of the time.

Symbolism of the Road

The design of the road sign embodies the spirit of travel, exploration, and the open road. The inclusion of the "134" likely references Illinois Route 134, representing a specific point on the map, a journey taken, or a destination reached. It serves as a decorative reminder of the state’s extensive and historic highway system.

Vintage Appeal

The overall aesthetic is a nostalgic throwback. The design aims to capture the look and feel of those classic road signs, creating a unique and visually appealing item for those who appreciate history, road trips, and the vintage appeal of early 20th-century American design.

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.
