US 65 Iowa 1926 Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design replicates the iconic road signage of US Route 65 in Iowa as it appeared in 1926. The artwork is a direct homage to the early days of America's numbered highway system.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design features the bold, simple elegance of the original sign: the number "65" in a solid black font, set against a bright, reflective white or silver background. The sign is rendered in the rectangular outline of the era, a no-frills, utilitarian approach to direction and navigation. It speaks to a time before complex branding, when the primary function of road signs was clear, concise communication.

Meaning and Symbolism

The simplicity of the design symbolizes the dawn of the American road trip. It represents a pivotal moment in American history, marking the standardization of road travel and the birth of a nation's love affair with the open road. The stark contrast of black on white suggests simplicity, clarity, and the promise of a journey ahead. This design serves as a mini-time capsule of the very first numbered highway signs in the US, capturing the spirit of exploration and discovery of a bygone era.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
