Illinois 136 1926 Shot Glass: A Vintage Road Trip in Miniature

This shot glass captures the spirit of early 20th-century Illinois road travel. The design evokes a bygone era, recalling the dawn of the U.S. highway system and the initial integration of U.S. routes within the state of Illinois around 1926.

A Nod to Nostalgia

The central element of the design is the bold display of "Illinois 136 1926." This typography signifies the period when the State of Illinois began marking its roads, embracing the emerging U.S. highway system. While Route 136 as we know it today (both the state and U.S. routes) came later, the design pays homage to the design esthetic of the era. The inclusion of the year is a declaration of the vintage style.

Symbolism of the Open Road

The "Illinois 136" marking acts as a symbolic road sign, offering a tangible link to the idea of the open road and the journeys that took place during this formative period of automotive travel. It signifies the spirit of exploration and adventure that defined this time in history, encapsulating the allure of hitting the road and discovering the landscape of Illinois.

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.
