Illinois 59A 1960 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of Illinois road sign history: the "Illinois 59A" highway marker, circa 1960. The design proudly displays the iconic Illinois state route shield, a silhouette of the state with "ILLINOIS" elegantly arched above.

A Slice of History

The design’s central element is the route designation: "59A". This "A" suffix, placed alongside the number within the shield, signified a specific variant of Illinois Route 59 – a spur, alternate route, or short connector. This detail makes the design especially appealing to history buffs and those interested in vintage Americana.

Vintage Style

The artwork reflects the older style of Illinois highway shields, predating the mid-1960s standardization. This gives the design a distinctive retro feel, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of road travel.

The overall design is a testament to the evolution of highway systems, memorializing a now-discontinued route through its authentic representation of the historic road sign. It's a striking visual tribute to the past, encapsulating both the practicality of road navigation and the enduring appeal of vintage design.

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.
