MN-17 1920 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass recreates a 1920 Minnesota State Highway 17 marker, a square route sign built around a bold numeral 17 and a star in a circle.

Visual Elements & Composition

A square frame holds the route number 17 as the dominant element, with a five-pointed star set inside a black circle as the secondary mark. The palette is golden yellow and black, rendered in flat vector shapes with no decoration. The layout is plain and geometric, so the number is the first thing read.

Meaning & Symbolism

The marker dates from the first year Minnesota numbered its state highways, and the numeral identified one specific route within that new network. The star-in-circle badge marked the sign as state property along a designated road. Early route signs of this kind were about wayfinding first, and they stand for the start of organised road travel in the state.

A Route Sign Held at the Rim

A shot glass is small and held close, so this marker is read at the rim as the glass is lifted, not from a passing car. The numeral turns toward the drinker, and the square frame sits against the curve of the glass. It works as a compact piece of Midwestern road history for a home bar or a travel shelf.

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.
