Illinois 142A 1926 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design that pays homage to the early days of Illinois highways, specifically Route 142A as it would have appeared around 1926. The artwork is a direct representation of the historical route marker used during that era, a symbol of the state's burgeoning road network.

The Route Marker: A Visual Emblem

The central element of the design is the distinctive route shield, a stylized emblem that would have been prominently displayed along the road. The design reflects the state-standard shape, color, and typography of the time. The prominent "142A" marking identifies this as a spur or alternate route of the original Route 142.

Color and Symbolism

While the exact color palette may vary slightly based on historical documentation, the general idea is clear: it evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in automotive travel. The design captures the spirit of exploration and discovery on the open road and is an emblem of a long-gone era.

Vintage Style

The overall style of the design is reminiscent of the period's graphic design trends. This allows a glimpse back in time at how the highways were designated.

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.
