N-117 1950 (Nebraska) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by the classic N-117 Nebraska state highway road sign from 1950. The artwork directly references the postwar updates and standardization implemented across Nebraska’s highway system at the time, offering a glimpse into mid-century American road travel.

Signage Recreation

The design prominently displays the “N-117” designation, replicating the style of the original highway signage. The "N" signifies that this was a Nebraska state highway, while the number “117” identified the specific route. This lettering style is characteristic of the improved legibility standards of the period.

Color Palette and Style

The color scheme is designed to evoke the look of a vintage road sign. The typical white or yellow shield background with black lettering is used to mirror the appearance of the era's road signs. The layout aims to be both functional and reminiscent of the streamlined, postwar aesthetic, reflecting a period of infrastructural development and enhanced public safety through improved signage.

Symbolism and Context

The image itself symbolizes a connection to Nebraska's transportation history and a moment in time when state highways were being re-envisioned for efficiency and modernity. The artwork captures the spirit of postwar America's expansion in infrastructure, and the desire to build and improve road systems for the benefit of the traveling public. The design honors a bygone era of American road travel and offers a taste of nostalgia for those who appreciate history and vintage aesthetics.

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.
