PA-17 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A keystone route marker in black and white, reading PENNA over the route number 17, with 1948 as its date.

Visual Elements & Composition

White is the overwhelming colour, with black reserved for the shield and its lettering. The keystone outline holds the design, with PENNA set across the top and the numeral 17 filling the lower field. The flat, unshaded vector style gives the sign a plain, archival character, and the layout is centred and spare.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers like this one were the working signs of the national highway system during the late 1940s, when Pennsylvania's numbered routes were being signed across the state. The keystone shape and the state abbreviation identified a road within that wider network, so a driver could follow it from one county to the next. The 1948 date places the sign in the postwar years, when the system was carrying more traffic than ever.

Shaped for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the lettering is read at close range as the glass is raised. The bold keystone and large numerals keep their clarity at that size, so the marker reads as a compact piece of road history in the hand.

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.
