Iowa Primary 29 Shot Glass: A Toast to Early Roadways

This shot glass commemorates the era of Iowa's early highway system, specifically the historic Primary Road No. 29. The design embodies the spirit of early 20th-century navigation and the state's pioneering efforts in road infrastructure.

Design Elements

The artwork directly mirrors the original road sign design. At the heart of the design is the bold, clear numeral "29." This prominently displayed number was the cornerstone of the sign's functionality, ensuring easy identification for motorists navigating the Iowa countryside.

The design, faithful to historical examples, likely showcases a circular shape (though other geometric shields were used) to house the number. This simplicity and clarity were crucial for the sign's effectiveness, especially in an era when reliable maps were not always readily available.

Symbolism and Meaning

The "Iowa Primary 29" design is more than just a number; it represents a pivotal moment in Iowa's transportation history. It symbolizes the state's commitment to progress, organization, and the development of a structured highway network designed to connect communities and facilitate travel.

The sign evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, when road travel was an adventure, and signage served as a vital guide for early motorists. It’s a tangible link to Iowa’s past, inviting reflection on the evolution of travel and infrastructure.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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.

They’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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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 — 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 — 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 (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
