Iowa 125 1926 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a faithful reproduction of the original U.S. Highway 125 road sign used in Iowa, circa 1926. The design is a tribute to the early days of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, a pivotal moment in American transportation history.

Visual Elements and Representation

The artwork centers around the iconic shield-shaped emblem that would have been a common sight along the roads of Clayton County, Iowa in 1926. The design is a bold statement, consisting of a white background for high visibility against the roadside and black text indicating the route number.

The black "125" text represents U.S. Highway 125, the seven-mile stretch connecting Iowa Highway 13 near Elkader to U.S. Highway 52 north of Garnavillo. This numerical designation was part of a national effort to standardize road networks, allowing travelers to easily navigate the country.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design symbolizes the dawn of the modern American road trip. It represents the spirit of exploration and adventure as the country became more accessible through standardized routes and signage. The simple yet effective design of the road sign embodies the era's focus on functionality and clear communication.

Owning a piece of this design is like holding a miniature piece of American history. It's a reminder of the ingenuity and collaborative effort that built the nation's road infrastructure and shaped the way we travel and experience the world.

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.
