Iowa 139 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design inspired by the historical Iowa 139 road sign from the 1926 Iowa state highway system.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central visual element is a bold representation of the number "139," rendered in a classic, vintage font. The number is positioned prominently to command attention, mirroring the original sign's purpose of guiding travelers.

The design adheres to the established aesthetic of early Iowa road signage. A circular or rectangular format, common for these early markers, likely provides the overall shape, though this is implied in this application. A simple black border frames the central design element, adding a touch of defined structure and creating a visual anchor.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American travel, celebrating the standardization and organization of roadways in early 20th-century Iowa. The "139" signifies a specific route within that system, representing a local connector or regional highway in its time.

The overall design reflects a time of simpler travel, when road signs were functional and straightforward. This visual representation serves as a tribute to Iowa's transportation history and the evolution of its highway infrastructure. The inclusion of "IOWA" above or below, if included, further reinforces the state's identity and belonging.

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.
