Illinois 168 1926 Pint Glass: A Road Trip Through History

This pint glass celebrates the early days of Illinois' highway system, featuring the iconic design of the 1926 Illinois Route 168 road sign. The design is a direct reproduction of the signage used during the nascent years of numbered state routes.

A Classic and Utilitarian Design

The artwork centers around a crisp, white square shield, outlined in bold black. This stark contrast immediately captures the eye, much like the original road signs would have done for travelers navigating the Illinois landscape in the 1920s.

Representing a Bygone Era

At the top of the design, the word "ILLINOIS" is proudly displayed in clean, black block letters, signifying the authority and reach of the state. Below, the route number "168" is rendered in large, black numerals, centered prominently to provide clear and immediate identification for drivers. This simple, uncluttered design embodies the utilitarian spirit of the era.

Symbolism of the Open Road

This design serves as a nostalgic window into a time when road travel was a new adventure. The simplicity of the sign reflects the directness and straightforwardness of early highway travel, representing the freedom and exploration that came with the open road. The absence of embellishment emphasizes the importance of the route itself, connecting communities and paving the way for the future of transportation.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
