Illinois 24 1926 (Illinois) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to a piece of American history: the original road signage for U.S. Route 24 in Illinois, established in 1926. The design captures the essence of early 20th-century highway travel and the iconic look of the U.S. Numbered Highway System.

Design Elements

The central design element is the unmistakable shield of U.S. Route 24. This badge-shaped emblem features the bold number "24," presented in a classic font, often in black against a white background, mirroring the original design standards. The simplicity of the design reflects the era in which it was created, highlighting the straightforward functionality of the highway system itself.

The presence of “Illinois” (within the design or above) would further emphasize the sign's geographic identity, connecting the historical route directly to the state.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a journey back in time, to the dawn of the American road trip. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of travel, when roads were first numbered and marked for the public. It symbolizes the establishment of the modern highway system, a key factor in the development of American culture and commerce.

For collectors and enthusiasts, this design represents a piece of highway history, reflecting the specific style, and legacy, of the original signage used for US Route 24 in Illinois. It serves as a tribute to the past and a conversation starter for those who appreciate Americana and the history of road travel.

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.
