PA-35 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

A keystone-shaped white road marker with the abbreviated state name PENNA across the top and the route number 35 in bold black figures, dated 1948 in a mid-century highway style.

Visual Elements & Composition

White is the ground and black is the ink, a pairing that keeps the sign crisp and easy to scan. The keystone outline is the principal shape, with its narrow top and flat base framing the lettering. PENNA is set in smaller capitals above, and the numeral 35 fills the middle of the panel and dominates the layout. There are no gradients or added graphics, so the design relies on its letterforms and the silhouette of the shield.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route 35 is one of the Pennsylvania numbers placed on the state's highways in the years when the United States was building a unified system of numbered roads. The abbreviated name PENNA and the number together identified the route for travellers crossing the state. By 1948 that system had become part of everyday life, and a marker of this kind records the period when the family car and the long road trip were becoming the norm across the country.

In Hand, at the Bar

A shot glass is small and held close, so the shield comes into view at the point of lifting. The keystone profile fits the glass's narrow body, and the bold 35 is easy to read from across a table. It suits a home bar, a memorabilia shelf or a Pennsylvania trip, and it gives a quiet nod to the mid-century roads that carried so many drivers through the state.

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.
