Iowa 28 (1926) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design captures the essence of Iowa's transportation history, presenting a miniature replica of the original 1926 Iowa Highway 28 road sign. The artwork is a faithful recreation of this iconic marker, instantly recognizable to enthusiasts of vintage Americana and Iowa history.

The Circular Shield

At the heart of the design is the circular shield, a standard element in the 1926 Iowa highway marker system. The circular shape symbolizes unity and completeness, representing the network of roads connecting the state. The choice of a shield also conveys a sense of protection and guidance, much like a heraldic emblem, guiding travelers on their journeys.

The "IOWA" and Route Number

Prominently displayed at the top of the shield is the word "IOWA," the state's name, rendered in a bold, easily legible font. Below this, the route number "28" is featured, signifying the specific highway. This clear and concise presentation ensures that the route's designation is immediately apparent. The stark simplicity of the lettering reflects the era's emphasis on functionality and clear communication.

A Symbol of Early Motoring

The overall design, with its classic typography and clean lines, represents a pivotal moment in Iowa's history when standardization in road markings helped usher in the era of automobile travel. It celebrates the spirit of exploration and the growth of transportation infrastructure in the early 20th century, making it a fitting tribute to the past.

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.
