Illinois 137 1950 (Illinois) Road Sign Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design inspired by the classic Illinois state route signs of the 1950s. The artwork pays homage to the mid-century aesthetic of highway signage, capturing a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American travel.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design prominently displays the route number "137" in a bold, easily readable font, a key element of any route marker. Above the number, the word "ILLINOIS" is displayed, reflecting the original design layout from the late 1950s and early 1960s. This layout is typical of the period and evokes a sense of historical authenticity.

The "1950" in the product title, and reflected in the design's style, acts as a visual shorthand for the era. It speaks to a specific design template or aesthetic that was common in Illinois during that time period. The color scheme and typography likely mimic the original signage.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design represents a connection to Illinois's history of transportation and route development. It offers a glimpse into how the state's highways were marked and identified during the mid-20th century. The route number itself is symbolic of the specific highway, a designated pathway through the state.

The vintage style carries a nostalgic appeal, evoking memories or ideals of classic Americana, road trips, and the open road. The design offers an appreciation for the history of Illinois roadways.

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.
