Illinois 98 1926 Pint Glass: A Toast to Highway History

This pint glass celebrates the early days of Illinois highways, specifically referencing the style and era of 1926 road signage. The design pays homage to the iconic look and feel of the state's roadways from that period.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a stylized representation of the Illinois Route 98 shield. This shield, prominent on the glass, likely emulates the classic design of Illinois highway markers, with the state name "ILLINOIS" at the top and the number "98" clearly displayed. The overall shape and font of the numbers and letters are designed to evoke the aesthetic of early 20th-century highway signage.

The "1926" detail is key. It signifies the period when highway numbering was burgeoning in Illinois, and when the signs had a distinct style. The use of β€œ1926” doesn't necessarily mean that Route 98 itself was established in that precise year. However, it is an important visual reference for the styling.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design of this pint glass embodies the spirit of early automobile travel and the evolution of the road system in Illinois. It serves as a tribute to the pioneers of highway design and the roadways that connected the state. The design is intended to evoke nostalgia and a sense of appreciation for the history of Illinois' highways.

The combination of the iconic Route 98 with the "1926" era branding, symbolizes a toast to the past and a celebration of a time when the open road represented freedom and new possibilities.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
