Iowa 75 (1926) Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass features a design that is a faithful reproduction of the iconic 1926 Iowa Highway 75 road sign. The artwork immediately evokes the early days of automobile travel and the efforts made to standardize road navigation within the state of Iowa.

Central Emblem

Dominating the design is the bold route number "75," positioned centrally. This clear and prominent display was essential for drivers in the early 20th century, enabling them to easily identify and follow their intended route. The number is the direct representation of the highway itself.

Shield and Lettering

The "75" number is contained within a classic circular shield, a design element reflecting the standardized signage introduced after the 1926 renumbering. The curvature of the shield design provided a recognizable and easily readable format for signs from a distance. The word "Iowa" is placed above or below the route number, identifying the origin and jurisdiction of the route.

Historical Significance

The overall design captures the spirit of early road travel, conveying a sense of history and nostalgia. It symbolizes Iowa's commitment to creating a coherent and safe highway system for travelers during the pioneering era of automobiles. The shot glass design pays homage to a collectible artifact from the beginnings of modern road infrastructure.

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.
