WIS 56 1919 Shot Glass: A Slice of Wisconsin History

This shot glass embodies the spirit of early Wisconsin highways with its distinctive design, a nostalgic nod to the state's pioneering highway system. The artwork prominently features "WIS 56 1919," a reference to Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 56 and the year the numbered highway system was initially implemented.

The Design's Meaning

The design echoes the original highway markers used in Wisconsin, which were the first of their kind in the world. The "WIS" signifies Wisconsin, followed by "56," the specific route number. The "1919" denotes the era in which these iconic signs were first created, symbolizing the dawn of modern road navigation and the beginning of Wisconsin's numbered highway system. It represents a piece of local history, offering a visual connection to the state's transportation past.

This design isn't just a label; it's a visual journey back to a time when navigating roads was a new adventure. This shot glass is designed as a tribute to an iconic piece of signage that helped create the highway system as we know it today. The look would be for a collector, or anyone who appreciates the history of early road travel in America.

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.
