MN-17 1934 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass presents Minnesota route 17 as a formal, black-and-white road sign dated 1934, a decade and a half after the state began numbering its highways.

Visual Elements & Composition

The route numeral 17 is the single line of text, set inside a square frame with a five-pointed star in a circle beside it. The palette is limited to black and white, with black doing most of the work in the badge and numeral. The flat vector treatment is clean and centred, so the sign reads as a plain, orderly record.

Meaning & Symbolism

The star-in-circle badge marks the sign as part of Minnesota's numbered state highway system, and the number 17 identifies one route within it. By 1934 the network had settled into a recognisable form, and this marker reflects that stage of road organisation. The date places the sign in the years when state routes were becoming a standard part of travel in the region.

The Route at Rim Height

A shot glass is small and held close, so the sign is seen at the rim as the glass is raised, rather than from a moving car. The numeral faces the drinker, and the square frame follows the curve of the glass. It suits a home bar or a shelf of Minnesota travel pieces.

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.
