Illinois 182 1926 Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to a piece of Illinois highway history: the former Illinois Route 182. The artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia, capturing the look of a vintage road sign.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is the iconic "182" numeral, prominently displayed within a shield. This is a direct representation of the original Illinois Route 182 marker. The "1926" at the top indicates the approximate era from which the sign design is drawn. The year, 1926, marks the establishment of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, suggesting an era of standardized road signage across the country.

The design utilizes a color palette and font style that evokes the aesthetic of 1920s road signage, offering a sense of history.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design is more than just a depiction of a highway marker; it represents a bygone era of road travel and the evolution of American infrastructure. The inclusion of the "1926" year provides additional context, highlighting the origins of a system that continues to shape modern travel.

For those familiar with Illinois highway history, the design is a symbolic reminder of a route that once connected communities and served as a vital part of the state's transportation network before being replaced by IL 161.

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.
