Iowa 126 1926 Shot Glass: A Glimpse of Highway History

This shot glass features a design that pays homage to a piece of American road-sign history: the original 1926 U.S. Highway 126 shield as it would have appeared in Iowa. The artwork is a direct representation of the signage standards established by the U.S. Numbered Highway System in the early 20th century, a time of significant transition in transportation infrastructure.

The Iconic Shield

The central element of the design is the distinct U.S. Highway shield. This is instantly recognizable by the bold "126" in black lettering, set against a pristine white background. The clean, simple aesthetic is indicative of the era's focus on clear and efficient communication for drivers navigating the newly standardized roadways. The stark contrast of black and white ensured easy visibility, a crucial factor for roadside signage.

A Symbol of Progress

This design isn't just about a number; it's a representation of a pivotal moment in the development of the American highway system. The U.S. Numbered Highway System aimed to unify the country through accessible roadways. The design symbolizes the standardization, and modernization that streamlined travel.

The artwork on this shot glass captures the spirit of exploration and the pioneering effort to create a cohesive network of roads. The design reminds us of the past while providing a nostalgic celebration of a significant era in American history.

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.
