N-85N 1950 (Nebraska) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design authentically recreates the classic look of the N-85N Nebraska road sign from approximately 1950. The artwork directly reflects the standardized signage used by the Nebraska highway system during that era.

Visual Elements

The design features a stark, rectangular arrangement, reminiscent of the road signs of the period. The background utilizes a bright white or light-colored field, providing optimal contrast and legibility. Bold black lettering forms the central visual element.

Representation and Meaning

The primary text, “N-85N,” is prominently displayed. The “N” signifies a Nebraska state highway, while "85" denotes the specific route number. The suffix "N" indicates that this was a branch or alternate route of the main highway N-85. This lettering system allowed the state to provide road access to a wider area without establishing entirely new highways.

This design serves as a visual tribute to the historical significance of Nebraska's highway system in the mid-20th century. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in American travel, representing the important infrastructure that supported communities and connected them.

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.
