US 73E Kansas 1926 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a meticulously crafted representation of the historic US 73E Kansas road sign as it appeared in 1926. The design is a direct visual nod to the early days of the U.S. Highway System, a time when road travel was rapidly expanding and the very first standardized road signs were being introduced.

Artwork and Visual Elements

At the core of the design is the iconic shield, rendered in its historically accurate form. A stark black background provides the foundation, sharply contrasting with the clean white shield at the center. Within the shield, the letters “US” are clearly displayed above the designation “73E”, which is the route number identifying the eastern branch of U.S. Route 73 in Kansas at the time.

Meaning and Symbolism

The artwork is not simply decorative; it is a symbol of a specific era. The sign encapsulates a period of change and expansion in transportation. The “E” designation itself represents a bygone era of split routes, a system of marking paths that is no longer in use. Displaying the 73E sign on this shot glass evokes a sense of nostalgia for classic highway design and the very genesis of modern road travel.

The design serves as a visual reminder of the evolution of transportation infrastructure and road signage over the decades, a tangible connection to a critical moment in American history.

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.
