Illinois 22A 1926 Shot Glass: A Visual Journey Through Highway History

This shot glass features a compelling visual design that transports you back to the early days of American highway travel. The primary element is a faithful recreation of the Illinois Route 22A road sign, circa 1926.

The Route Number: A Sign of the Times

The central design element, “Illinois 22A,” immediately evokes the era of state-sponsored road building. The “22A” designation, a suffix used in those early days, denotes a spur or alternate route of the main highway. This detail alone speaks to a specific moment in Illinois’ transportation history, hinting at the ingenuity and evolution of the highway system.

The Year: A Launching Point

The inclusion of "1926" is significant. It represents the year the United States Numbered Highway System was launched, changing how Americans understood and navigated the country's roads. This date adds a layer of authenticity and vintage appeal to the design, suggesting a moment of change and the birth of a new era of road travel.

A Collector's Item in Miniature

The overall design transforms a simple shot glass into a collector's item. The design is a miniature tribute to vintage highway signage, reflecting a bygone era of travel. The sign’s graphic simplicity and historical context make it a charming conversation starter for anyone interested in road history and vintage Americana.

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.
