Iowa 123 1926 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a striking design inspired by the historic "Iowa 123" road sign from 1926. The artwork meticulously replicates the original U.S. Highway 123 shield used in Iowa, offering a glimpse into the early days of standardized highway signage.

A Nod to Early American Roads

The central element is the iconic U.S. Highway shield itself. The design employs the distinctive white background and black text, adhering to the specifications outlined in the first edition of the Manual and Specifications for the Manufacture, Display, and Erection of U.S. Standard Route Markers and Signs, published in January 1927. The stark contrast of the black numerals against the white background ensured easy visibility for motorists traveling the roads of Iowa.

Symbolism of Standardization

The design represents a significant moment in American transportation history: the establishment of the U.S. Numbered Highway System in 1926. This system marked a shift from state-specific routes to a unified national network, symbolized by the standardized signage. The "123" itself pointed the way across Warren, Lucas, and Wayne counties in Iowa, connecting U.S. 34 and ultimately the junction of U.S. 65 and Iowa 2.

The artwork on this glass serves as a visual reminder of a bygone era, celebrating the evolution of road travel and the enduring legacy of early American highway design.

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.
