US 18 Iowa 1926 (Iowa) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic representation of the original 1926 US 18 road sign as it would have appeared in Iowa. The design is a faithful homage to the early days of the U.S. Highway system, capturing the simple, utilitarian aesthetic of the time.

Visual Elements

The core of the design is the iconic U.S. Highway shield shape. A white or light-colored shield provides the background, bordered by a bold black outline. Centered within this shield, the route number "18" appears in a stark, contrasting black. This clean, uncomplicated arrangement immediately identifies the highway and its number.

Representation and Meaning

The design represents a significant piece of American transportation history. The 1926 designation marked the beginning of a standardized, federally-coordinated highway system, revolutionizing cross-country travel. The sign itself symbolizes the guidance and connectivity offered by this new network, linking communities and facilitating the movement of people and goods across the state of Iowa and beyond. The absence of additional elements, common in the earliest signage, further reinforces the sign's focus on essential information.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
