Illinois 175 1926 Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design replicates the historical road sign for Illinois Route 175, a short-lived state highway in Peoria County. The artwork aims to capture the essence of early 20th-century road signage.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element is the bold display of "IL 175". The use of a clear, sans-serif font is characteristic of road signs from the era, conveying immediate legibility for passing motorists. The "IL" designation, short for Illinois, clearly identifies the route's state affiliation.

The overall design reflects the standardization of road signage that began in the 1920s. While specifics of the original sign's appearance are limited, this design incorporates elements of the historical style. The typography and color palette are chosen to evoke the period in which the road existed, namely the mid-1920s.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic homage to a vanished piece of Illinois' transportation history. The "IL 175" evokes a sense of place and time, conjuring images of early automobiles, scenic routes, and the evolution of American infrastructure. It represents a bygone era of state highway development and the simple, functional aesthetics of its road signs.

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.
