US 275 Iowa 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a meticulously rendered design of the original US 275 highway marker as it would have appeared in Iowa during 1926. The artwork is a faithful recreation of the early days of the United States Numbered Highway System.

The Iconic Shield

The central element is a classic shield. Against a pristine white background, a bold, black number "275" stands out prominently. This straightforward, highly visible design was crucial for early motorists navigating a developing national road system. The shield shape itself became a symbol of national routes, a standard easily recognized across state lines.

Simple, Functional Design

The design adheres strictly to the standardized sign conventions of the time. A thick black border frames the shield, enhancing its visibility, particularly in various lighting conditions. The absence of any state name allows for clear focus on the route number itself, highlighting its importance in guiding travelers. This is a deliberate design choice that evokes a feeling of history and simplicity.

Historical Accuracy

This artwork is designed to capture the essence of early 20th-century American road travel and regional transportation in Iowa. The colors and styling have been carefully replicated, reflecting the materials and techniques used in the original highway signage. The design is a celebration of the era when these simple signs connected a nation.

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.
