PA-163 1926 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A keystone highway sign in flat black and white, reading ROUTE above the number 163.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is strictly black on white, with white filling most of the frame. The keystone outline is the dominant shape, a trapezoid set upright and centred with clear margins. ROUTE is small along the top of the sign, and 163 is the largest mark, sitting at the heart of the composition. Edges are crisp and there is no shading or extra graphic, so the sign and its number read immediately.

Meaning & Symbolism

Keystone signs like this one were used to mark numbered highways in Pennsylvania during the 1920s, as the state and the country began giving their main roads consistent route numbers. Route 163 is one of those designations, and the 1926 date in the title places the design in the years when that numbering was taking shape. The sign stands for early road travel and the growth of the state's highway network.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is held close and turned in the hand, so the sign is read a few inches from the eye, one face at a time. The keystone's narrowing sides suit the tapering form of the glass, and the heavy black numerals stay clear through the clear wall. It makes a good reference point for anyone curious about early roadside design, and it sits well among other sign-themed pieces on a shelf.

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.
