MN-10 1920 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass carries a reproduction of the original Minnesota State Highway 10 marker, a route sign dating from around 1920, the year the state first numbered its highways.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is a plain, flat rectangular sign with a single route number at its centre. The bold numeral 10 is the dominant element and the only lettering, set high in the frame with nothing competing for attention. The layout is deliberately spare, with a square frame and a simple star-in-circle state route badge that give the marker its recognisable shape.

Meaning & Symbolism

Early state route markers like this one were built to do one job: keep motorists on the right road. The number stands for a route that was part of Minnesota's first organised highway network, when travellers navigated by posts placed along a designated line rather than by standardised national signage. The sign is a small piece of transport history, showing how modern road navigation began on the state's roads.

Holding the Marker in Your Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the marker is seen at arm's length and up close rather than from the road. The numeral sits at eye level as the glass is raised, and the squared frame reads cleanly against the curve of the glass. It is a quiet, well-placed nod to Minnesota's roads, suited to a shelf of barware or a travel keepsake.

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.
