Illinois 87 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the historical Illinois State Route 87 road signs from the year 1926. The artwork is a faithful representation of the signage that would have marked this state highway during the early years of numbered routes in Illinois.

Design Elements

The design prominently displays the route number "87" in a bold, clear font. The lettering style likely reflects the typical signage aesthetics of the era. Above or around the route number, the word "ILLINOIS" (the state name) would have been positioned, reinforcing the origin of the route.

The color scheme and overall style likely reflect the design standards of the period. This means a straightforward and functional layout, prioritizing legibility and the immediate identification of the road.

Meaning and Symbolism

The image on the shot glass acts as a tribute to the early days of automotive travel and road construction. It offers a glimpse into the state's transportation history. The "1926" designation signifies the historic design era, highlighting the early adoption of numbered route systems.

This design serves as a nostalgic representation of a specific point in time, when Illinois was developing its infrastructure. Owning this shot glass allows one to hold a symbolic piece of Illinois's past and the road that once was, before being renumbered to IL 26.

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.
