PA-79 1960 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign Coffee Mug - Design

This coffee mug features a design inspired by a classic piece of Americana: the Pennsylvania Route 79 road sign from approximately 1960. The artwork directly references the visual language of mid-20th century road signage in the state of Pennsylvania.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The core of the design is the representation of the "PA 79" road sign. The shape emulates the distinctive keystone silhouette, a prominent state symbol. The "PA" prefix is clearly displayed, followed by the route number "79". The font style reflects the transition of the time period, with the text likely utilizing a rounded font common in that era. The color palette focuses on a white background with black lettering which was a standard for Pennsylvania road signage during this era, ensuring the sign is easily legible.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "PA-79" sign design embodies several layers of meaning. First, it represents Pennsylvania’s historical highway system, specifically Pennsylvania Route 79, a road that existed in 1960. The keystone shape directly ties the design to the state of Pennsylvania, visually linking the mug to the commonwealth's identity. The clean, simple design of the sign represents a bygone era of straightforwardness in travel and the American road trip. The road sign design functions as a subtle yet significant nod to the history of the highway infrastructure.

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.
