Iowa 182 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design that is a miniature replica of the historic Iowa 182 road sign from 1926. This design pays homage to the early days of standardized road signage in the United States and specifically to the roadways of Iowa.

A Classic Design

The artwork replicates the iconic shield design. The visual centerpiece is the bold, cutout-style shield, a familiar shape from the era. The primary colors are clean and simple: a stark white background and a black border, reflecting the design’s functionality and readability from a distance.

The Elements of the Road

The design clearly communicates its identity. Above the route number, the words "IOWA" and "U.S." are boldly displayed in a square, sans-serif font, characteristic of the period. This typography, along with the black lettering, creates a strong visual contrast against the white shield, ensuring that the number "182" remains the primary focal point.

Historical Significance

The image on the shot glass celebrates a moment in transportation history. This shield is a symbol of a time when the nation began to unify its road systems, making travel and navigation more consistent across state lines. Displaying this design highlights a connection to the historical transformation of America’s roadways, embodying a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, earlier era of road travel.

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.
