US 36 Kansas 1926 (Kansas) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a striking design inspired by the original US 36 road sign used in Kansas when the U.S. Numbered Highway System was established in 1926. The artwork is a direct tribute to a piece of American transportation history.

Artwork Details

The central element of the design is the iconic shield shape, the defining characteristic of the 1926 US 36 road marker. Within the shield, the bold numerals "US 36" are prominently displayed, mirroring the original signage. The typography and font choice are faithful to the design specifications outlined in the first edition of the "Manual and Specifications for the Manufacture, Display, and Erection of U.S. Standard Route Markers and Signs," published in January 1927.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American road travel. It represents the "Main Street of America," US Route 36, and its vital role in connecting communities across Kansas during the early days of automobile travel. The shield itself is a powerful symbol of direction, guidance, and the adventure of the open road. It signifies the journeys taken, the places reached, and the legacy of the US Numbered Highway System.

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.
