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

This shot glass features a design that pays homage to the historical Illinois Route 142A. The central element is the Illinois state route shield, a familiar shape instantly recognizable to drivers in the state. Within the shield, the prominent number "142A" is displayed, serving as the identifying marker for this former spur route.

The artwork adheres to the specifications of sign detail M-I100 as outlined in the Illinois Supplement to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This means the design accurately reflects the official style and visual language of Illinois road signage from a past era.

The "142A" designation itself carries historical significance. It signifies a route that once connected McLeansboro and Wayne City in southern Illinois, but was subsequently renumbered. Thus, the design represents a piece of Illinois's transportation history, preserved in a format that mirrors how drivers once navigated these roads.

The design's symbolism evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of Illinois road travel, making it a fitting piece for enthusiasts of road signs, Illinois history, or those interested in transport and heritage.

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.
