PA-167 1948 (Pennsylvania) Coffee Mug: A Design Steeped in History

This coffee mug showcases a distinctive piece of Pennsylvania's transportation history: the 1948-style PA-167 road sign. The design pays homage to a bygone era of highway signage, capturing the essence of mid-20th century road travel.

A Nod to the Keystone State

The centerpiece of the design is the iconic keystone shape, a direct reference to Pennsylvania's nickname, "The Keystone State." This shape immediately identifies the origin and historical significance of the sign. The keystone silhouette embodies the state's identity and its role in connecting communities.

Vintage Typography and Route Identification

The "PA-167" inscription, rendered in a bold, block-style font, is prominently displayed within the keystone. This lettering style mirrors the standardized fonts adopted nationwide in the late 1940s. The "PA-" prefix indicates it's a Pennsylvania state route, followed by the specific route number. For this mug, it proudly displays Route 167. This design element ensures the road sign's purpose is immediately recognized: identifying a specific route.

Nostalgia and Historical Significance

The "1948" association further contextualizes the sign, as it refers to a particular design standard from the era. This signifies the vintage style of the sign and evokes a sense of nostalgia, making the design a conversation starter.

Ultimately, this design is more than just a road sign; it is a visual reminder of Pennsylvania's rich transportation heritage, a symbolic journey back in time, and a tribute to a distinctive period in road sign design.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate β€” these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
