MN-47 1920 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design shows route number 47 as it appeared on Minnesota's first generation of numbered highway markers from 1920.

Visual Elements & Composition

The sign uses a golden yellow field with strong black forms. The numeral 47 is the largest element, and a five-pointed star inside a black circular badge sits beside it as a secondary mark. The layout is square and symmetrical, with no state outline and no added text, so the figures carry the whole design. Its high contrast makes the number easy to read.

Meaning & Symbolism

The marker belongs to the numbered trunk highway system that Minnesota adopted in 1920. In that early period a route number was the main guide a driver had, and the sign reflects a time when road identification was kept deliberately plain. It came before the state-outline shields of 1948, so it captures the start of standardised road signage in the state.

Reading the Number on the Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the bold 47 and its star badge come into view as the glass is lifted. The design is direct enough to suit a small object, and it gives the glass a compact piece of Minnesota road history.

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.
