WIS 99 (Wisconsin) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass celebrates the history of Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 99, a route that once traversed Waukesha County. The design showcases the evolution of the road sign used to identify this highway.

Vintage Design Elements

The central element of the design reflects the final iteration of the WIS 99 road sign. It's a black and white square shield, a classic representation of Wisconsin's state highways. Across the top, the word "WISCONSIN" is prominently displayed, followed by the number "99" below, centered in a bold, easily readable font. This design represents the route's existence as a state highway, and is a symbol of Wisconsin's road system.

Historical Context

The use of this specific shield design signifies the final period of WIS 99's existence as a state route, specifically the period between 1948 and 1999. It represents the modern era of highway signage, recognizable throughout the state, and the end of the route as a state maintained road. It is a nostalgic symbol of a bygone era in Wisconsin transportation.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design of the WIS 99 shot glass evokes a sense of local pride and nostalgia for Wisconsin's history. The shield design serves as a marker of place, representing not just a road, but a community and its connection to the state of Wisconsin. It is a miniature celebration of a specific route, and a testament to the changes in transportation and signage over time.

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.
