MN-42 1920 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design takes the route number 42 from Minnesota's 1920 trunk highway system and sets it as a bold roadside marker.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition is flat and direct. The numeral 42 is the dominant element, printed in black against a yellow field, with a five-pointed star set inside a black circular badge. The layout is centred and uncluttered, with no decorative border or extra lettering to compete with the number. The word Minnesota and the year 1920 anchor the design as a regional, dated reference.

Meaning & Symbolism

When Minnesota first numbered its trunk highways in 1920, each route number became the main way for a driver to know where they were headed. The marker stands for that shift from local, named roads to a statewide numbered network. Its plain, function-first styling reflects the early American approach to road signage, where clarity mattered more than ornament.

Reading the Number on the Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the bold numeral and the star-in-circle badge are easy to take in at a glance. Each pour brings the number up to eye level, a neat piece of Minnesota road history for anyone who likes to trace where the state's highways began.

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.
