US 166 Kansas 1926 (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic and iconic representation of the early U.S. highway system. The design is a direct nod to the original 1926 signage for U.S. Route 166 in Kansas, capturing the spirit of a bygone era of road travel.

Design Elements

The artwork centers around a shield shape, characteristic of early U.S. highway markers. This rounded-top shield, minimalist in its design, speaks to the utilitarian aesthetic of the time. The bold, large numeral "166" dominates the center, representing the specific route. The simple color scheme, with black numbers set against a white background, or potentially the reverse, maintains the historical accuracy and clarity of the original signage.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic reminder of the beginnings of the U.S. Numbered Highway System. It symbolizes the connectivity provided by these early roadways, which played a critical role in linking communities and facilitating regional travel. The design embodies the spirit of exploration and adventure inherent in the open road, and represents a piece of American history.

This shot glass design, by faithfully reproducing the style of the 1926 U.S. 166 road sign, is a tribute to the fundamental roots of American highway travel.

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.
