PA-161 1926 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A pentagonal highway shield in black on white, reading ROUTE above the number 161 in a clean flat-vector style.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white make up the whole palette, with white covering most of the surface. The pentagonal shield is the dominant form and is centred with generous space around it. ROUTE is set in small letters across the top of the shield, and the numerals 161 take the largest weight in the lower half. The lines are crisp and there is no ornament, so the number is the clearest feature of the design.

Meaning & Symbolism

Shields of this shape were used to mark the numbered routes that linked Pennsylvania's towns once the national road numbering system took hold in the 1920s. Route 161 is one road in that network, and the year 1926 in the title dates the design to the period when those numbers were first being assigned. The piece stands for early motoring and the state's developing road system.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is held close and turned in the hand, so the shield is read a few inches from the eye, one face at a time. The compact pentagon sits neatly on the narrow, straight sides of the glass, and the solid black figures stay clear through the clear wall. It is a good match for anyone with an interest in roadside history, and it adds a bit of travel-era character to a home bar.

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.
