Illinois 136 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the vintage highway signage of Illinois, specifically the U.S. Route 136 (US 136) marker from around 1950. The artwork pays homage to the era when this route designation was first established within the state.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element of the design is the iconic "Illinois" highway shield. The words "ILLINOIS" are prominently displayed at the top, echoing the design conventions of the time. Beneath, the route number "136" is displayed, mimicking the classic font and layout used on US highway signs of the mid-20th century. The entire design evokes the aesthetic of a road sign from the 1950s, a period marked by specific design choices and the early adoption of reflective materials to enhance visibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a piece of American transportation history, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time on the open road. The "1950" designation signifies the year US 136 was officially recognized in Illinois, highlighting the historical significance of the route. This design on a shot glass becomes a symbol of travel, exploration, and the enduring appeal of the classic American highway system.

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.
