The mention of Route 66 brings up feelings of nostalgia, reminiscing about the iconic American highway that once stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles. The vintage road signs, the quirky roadside attractions, the historic landmarks, and the small-town hospitality are all embedded in the collective memory of those who've traveled or dreamt of traveling its route.
Our polished black glass coaster, adorned with the Route 66 road marker, is a beautiful tribute to that bygone era. The hand-screened design is timeless. It serves not only as a functional coaster to protect your surfaces from condensation but also as a decorative piece that speaks volumes about the owner's appreciation for Americana.

The historic U.S. Highway 66, popularly known as Route 66 or the Mother Road, is an icon of American culture and consciousness, from its origins in westward migration to its celebration of automobile culture. Spanning eight states and a total of approximately 2,450 miles from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA, Route 66 holds diverse stories symbolizing the pursuit of freedom and navigation.
Route 66 serves as a bridge to our shared heritage, as it features more than 250 buildings, bridges, road alignments, and other sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Records of those sites are in the National Archives' care as an integral part of America’s narrative.
