Iowa 42 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Pint Glass

This pint glass celebrates the early days of Iowa's highway system, specifically the era of the 1926 renumbering. The design directly reflects the standard state highway signage used that year.

A Journey Back in Time

The centerpiece of this design is a circular shield, a characteristic feature of Iowa's primary highway signs adopted in 1926. This shape is a visual clue, instantly communicating the sign's function: to guide travelers along a designated route.

Classic Iowa: Symbolism in Simplicity

At the top of the circle, the word "Iowa" arches elegantly, clearly stating the jurisdiction and imbuing the design with a sense of place. Below, the bold route number "42" dominates the lower two-thirds of the sign. This stark numeral is the essential identifier, the key to navigation and the promise of a journey.

High Contrast for Clarity

The design employs a high-contrast color scheme, likely black numerals and lettering on a light background (or the reverse). This choice, common in the 1920s, ensures maximum visibility and legibility, reflecting the era's focus on clear and straightforward communication to drivers.

An Authentic Tribute

The entire design serves as an homage to a specific moment in Iowa's history: the dawn of its modern highway system. Each element – the shape, the lettering, the color scheme – works in concert to evoke the spirit of exploration and progress of 1926 Iowa, inviting viewers to imagine the open road and the journeys that lie ahead.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
