US 53 Minnesota 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a classic piece of Americana, a visual homage to the early days of the U.S. highway system. The design replicates the historical "US 53 Minnesota 1926" road sign, a symbol of the national highway network established in 1926.

Artwork and Visuals

The artwork centers around a shield-shaped graphic. It showcases a stark, white background framed by a bold black border. Inside the shield, the letters "US" are prominently displayed, stacked over the number "53," both rendered in a classic, bold black font. At the top of the shield, the word "MINN." is arched gracefully, representing the state of Minnesota.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design is more than just a depiction of a highway marker; it's a nostalgic emblem of a bygone era. It signifies the standardization of the U.S. highway system, when roads began to connect the nation. The "1926" designation denotes the original design standards and the beginning of a unified national highway experience.

The design, while historically accurate, represents a design that may not have actually been used in Minnesota in 1926, because US 53 did not yet run in the state. Instead, this shot glass serves as a collectible or a symbol of interest in highway history.

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.
