1950 Illinois 160 Road Sign Shot Glass

This shot glass captures the essence of mid-century Illinois highway history. The design replicates the classic 1950s Illinois Route 160 road sign, a nostalgic emblem of the era before the state adopted its modern, standardized markers. It’s a visual journey back in time, celebrating a unique piece of Illinois's transportation heritage.

A State in Silhouette

The design prominently features the iconic silhouette of the state of Illinois, a bold declaration of place. This distinctive shape immediately identifies the route as a state highway. The white background, mirroring the original sign, provides a clean canvas for the lettering and numerals.

Classic Typography

Emblazoned across the top, the word "ILLINOIS" is rendered in a curved, black uppercase font, characteristic of the era. The route number, "160," takes center stage in bold, black numerals, a clear and direct indication of the designated route. This straightforward layout reflects the functionality of the original sign, ensuring legibility and quick identification for drivers.

A Sign of the Times

The design pays homage to a bygone era of Illinois road travel. It serves as a visual reminder of the evolution of highway signage, and a tribute to the state's rich history. It’s a design that’s both functional and evocative, celebrating a time when road signs were not just practical, but also held a distinct visual identity.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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.

They’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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
