N-3 1950 (Nebraska) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features the iconic design of the N-3 Nebraska highway sign as it appeared in 1950, a mid-century refinement of the original 1926 design. The artwork captures the essence of Nebraska's highway history and heritage.

Visual Elements

The central image is a bold and instantly recognizable symbol of Nebraska: a covered wagon pulled by oxen. This emblem is a direct reference to the state's pioneering spirit and the historical significance of westward expansion. The wagon and oxen are rendered in a clean, easily discernible style, reflecting the era's focus on improved legibility for motorists.

The route designation "3" is prominently displayed, indicating that this shot glass commemorates Nebraska Highway 3. The number's placement is consistent with the design of the time, emphasizing the functionality of the highway signage.

The word "NEBRASKA" is boldly displayed in a sans-serif typeface, typical of highway signage of the period. This inscription reinforces the origin of the design and links the imagery to the state.

Color and Presentation

The design adheres to the established color scheme of the era: black imagery and text against a clean white background. This high-contrast palette ensures maximum visibility and clarity. This is consistent with standards established by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) of the time.

Symbolism

The overall design is rich with symbolism. The covered wagon represents the journey, the exploration, and the pioneering spirit of Nebraska. Displaying this design on a shot glass celebrates Nebraska's heritage and the open road. The N-3 sign becomes a reminder of a bygone era in American highway history, a piece of nostalgic Americana.

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.
