Iowa 82 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design authentically recreates the iconic signage of Iowa Highway 82 as it appeared in 1926, offering a direct visual link to the early days of automotive travel and Iowa's original numbered highway system.

Sign Elements

The design faithfully replicates the black-and-white circular shield that was the standard for Iowa state highway signage at the time. The topmost portion of the circle boldly displays the word "Iowa" in a clean, sans-serif font, clearly identifying the state the highway serves. This placement serves as an immediate identifier of origin and purpose.

The route number, "82", is centrally and prominently displayed at the bottom of the shield. This placement ensures the route number is easily readable, crucial for drivers navigating the roadways of southwestern Iowa in 1926. The clear numeral reinforces the function of the sign: to guide travelers and delineate the network of state highways.

Symbolism and Meaning

The sign itself is a relic of a pivotal era in transportation history. The use of a standardized sign, such as this, represented Iowa's early efforts to build a organized road system. The stark contrast of black and white adds to the visibility of the sign, enabling drivers to easily identify and follow the designated route. It is a symbol of progress, connectivity, and the burgeoning freedom of the open road in the Roaring Twenties. The design on this shot glass captures not just the number of a highway, but the spirit of a bygone era in American history.

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.
