WIS 51 1919 (Wisconsin) Shot Glass

This shot glass captures the essence of early Wisconsin highway history, showcasing the original design of the WIS 51 road sign as it appeared in 1919. The artwork pays homage to the very first year of the state's numbered highway system, a time when standardized signs were just beginning to shape the landscape of travel.

Design Elements

The design adheres strictly to the simplicity of the 1919 sign. A clean, square field serves as the visual foundation, mirroring the shape of the original road marker. The dominant color scheme is a classic black-on-white, reflecting the historical use of painted metal signs. This color pairing provides high contrast, ensuring the sign's visibility to passing motorists.

Artwork and Representation

At the top of the design, the abbreviation "WIS" proudly proclaims the state of origin, a testament to Wisconsin's commitment to creating a connected transportation network. Centered below, the bold block numerals "51" represent the specific highway number, providing a clear and direct identification. This minimalist approach embodies the functionality of the era; the design prioritizes straightforward communication for those navigating the roads.

This design serves as a symbolic nod to a bygone era of road travel and highway infrastructure. It celebrates the beginnings of a standardized system that would evolve into the complex networks we know today. The shot glass becomes a miniature tribute to the pioneers of Wisconsin's roadways, allowing you to hold a piece of history in your hand.

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.
