PA-166 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A keystone-shaped Pennsylvania route shield in flat black and white, bearing the abbreviation PENNA and the number 166.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is limited to white and black, with white filling most of the field. The keystone outline is the dominant form, its angled top and tapered base giving the sign its recognisable silhouette. The state name sits in a short line above the route number, which is set larger and carries the most contrast. The result is a plain, legible marker with no decoration to distract from the numerals.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route shields were the markers that let drivers identify a numbered highway at a glance, and each state adopted its own version of the shape. The 1948 date falls in the years after the Second World War, when the national road network had matured and its signage was part of everyday travel. The design stands for that common system of navigation and for Pennsylvania's place within it.

Bringing the Shield to the Glass

A 1.5oz shot glass is small and held close, so the shield reads as a compact emblem as the glass is lifted. The simple geometry suits a round, curved surface, and the black lettering stays easy to read at close range. It is a neat choice for a shelf of road-trip souvenirs.

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.
