Iowa 29 1926 Shot Glass: A Glimpse of Iowa's Road Ahead

Design Overview

This shot glass features the iconic design of the 1926 Iowa Highway 29 road sign, a testament to Iowa's early transportation era. The artwork directly replicates the historical sign, instantly recognizable to enthusiasts of Iowa history and vintage Americana.

Visual Elements

The primary visual element is a circular design, echoing the shape of the original highway shield. "IOWA" arches elegantly across the top in a classic, period-appropriate typeface. Boldly displayed beneath is the number "29," the route designation that once guided motorists across the state. The simplicity of the design, with its clear font and stark contrast, underscores the sign's purpose: to provide immediate and unambiguous information.

Meaning and Symbolism

The artwork represents a significant shift in how travelers navigated Iowa. The 1926 signs marked a transition from rudimentary route-marking methods to standardized signage, facilitating easier travel and reflecting the growing importance of automobiles. The shot glass encapsulates a piece of Iowa's past, symbolizing the state's forward movement and its embrace of modern transportation during the early 20th century. Holding this shot glass provides a miniature portal to the era when these signs first graced Iowa's roadways.

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.
