Iowa 129 1926 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a faithful representation of the original Iowa Highway 129 route marker, as it appeared in 1926. The design is a direct homage to Iowa’s first statewide highway renumbering and the standardization of its road system.

The Iconic Circular Shield

The artwork centers around a circular shield, the characteristic shape employed for Iowa state highway markers of the era. The simplicity of the form speaks to the early efforts to create a clear and easily recognizable system for motorists.

Route Number in Focus

Prominently displayed within the circular shield is the number "129". This central element immediately identifies the specific highway route. The clear and bold typeface exemplifies the utilitarian design of the time, designed for maximum visibility and quick identification on the open road.

A Symbol of Early Standardization

The design represents a significant moment in Iowa’s history – the transition to a modern, standardized highway system. The marker symbolizes the effort to reduce confusion and improve navigation for travelers, particularly with the introduction of the U.S. Highway System. The 129 shield is a tangible reminder of Iowa’s commitment to facilitating travel and connecting communities in the early 20th century.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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.

They’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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
