Iowa 105 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of Iowa's highway history, specifically the design of the Iowa Highway 105 road sign as it appeared in 1926. This year marked a significant shift in U.S. travel with the establishment of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, which included state routes like IA 105.

The Iconic Road Sign

The artwork directly mirrors the original road sign's design. The central element is a circular shield, a shape chosen to quickly identify the route. At the top of the shield, the word "IOWA" is clearly displayed, indicating the state the highway belongs to. Below, the number "105" is prominently featured, representing the specific route designation.

Color Scheme and Symbolism

The design adheres to the typical color scheme of the era: black text on a white background. This stark contrast ensured visibility and easy recognition for travelers along the road. The simplicity of the design, using only essential information, embodies the efficiency and standardization efforts of the early highway system. The clear display was crucial for drivers navigating the improved but still developing roadways of the time.

The representation on this shot glass captures a slice of Iowa's past, reflecting the state's role in the national effort to improve transportation infrastructure and promote easier travel across America.

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.
