Illinois 151 1926 Shot Glass: A Glimpse of the Past

This shot glass captures the nostalgic charm of early 20th-century Illinois road signage. The design prominently features "Illinois" in a classic, bold typeface, immediately establishing its geographical context. Below, the number "151" is displayed, representing a historic route marker for a highway in Illinois.

A Nod to the 1920s

The "1926" element anchors the design in a specific historical period, evoking the era when road travel was rapidly evolving. The use of this year suggests a connection to the State Bond Issue (SBI) numbering system, which was prevalent in Illinois during the 1920s. This detail offers a sense of history and a visual link to a time when road signs were simpler and more iconic.

Symbolism of the Open Road

The overall design, inspired by road signs, symbolizes journey, exploration, and the enduring spirit of travel. It's a tribute to a time when highways were new and adventures awaited around every bend. The inclusion of the "Illinois" state name also reinforces a sense of place and local pride.

The design speaks to an interest in vintage Americana and a connection to the past, reminding us of a time before interstate highways, when the journey itself was a significant part of the experience.

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.
