WIS 91 (1927) Wisconsin Road Sign Shot Glass

This shot glass features a classic piece of Wisconsin history, a faithful reproduction of the state's 1927 trunk highway marker for WIS 91. The design captures the essence of early 20th-century road signage, reflecting a shift towards greater readability and standardization in response to the growing popularity of automobiles.

Design Elements

The artwork presents the quintessential elements of the 1927 Wisconsin highway sign. The background is a clean, crisp white, providing a stark contrast that ensures the lettering is easily discernible. Encasing the design is a bold, black border, lending a strong, defined edge that further enhances visual clarity. This simplicity embodies the straightforward practicality of road signs.

Across the top, the word "WISCONSIN" is prominently displayed in a clear, easy-to-read font. Centered beneath, the number "91" appears in large, bold black numerals, marking the specific highway designation. This arrangement is a direct translation of the original sign, where the state name and highway number clearly communicated location and direction to travelers.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design represents a significant period in American transportation history and the evolution of road design. It symbolizes the growth of Wisconsin's highway system and the state's efforts to keep pace with the increasing use of automobiles. The sign itself represents navigation, travel, and the open road. It signifies the spirit of exploration and adventure characteristic of the early automobile era, when road trips and travel were becoming increasingly accessible.

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.
