Galleries

These image galleries support the Hoffmann–Hayman (H and H) Coffee Company story in San Antonio: what we collect, where it was made, how it was advertised, and how to tell our material from unrelated “H and H” lookalikes. Each gallery is a curated grid; the posts elsewhere on the site carry longer notes on individual pieces.

Our Collection

The main photographic index of the museum holdings—tins, Crystalvac jars, bags, labels, small artifacts, and related items that appear in the collection posts.

The Factory

Historic exterior and interior views of the Hoffmann–Hayman plant, later building and street context, company paperwork (letterhead, sales forms), and a few images tied to suppliers or the physical site.

Memorabilia

A tighter “greatest hits” set: postcards, retail packaging, lithographed signs, promotional tins and posters, branded sacks, and other printed or display pieces that sit alongside the core packaging in Our Collection.

Newspaper Ads

Scans of San Antonio–area newspapers and similar clippings (roughly 1911–2015)—display advertisements, mentions, and articles that document how the firm and its brands showed up in print over time.

Not Our H & H

Items from other companies with confusingly similar names or marks (different Hoffmann lines, “H and H” cleaners, unrelated tins and bottles), kept here for comparison and to separate them from true Hoffmann–Hayman material.

Our Collection

Photographs of Hoffmann-Hayman tins, Crystalvac jars, advertising, and other items in the museum collection.

The Factory

Historic and current photos of the Hoffmann-Hayman San Antonio plant, street and rail context, company letterhead and forms, and a few supplier shots.

Memorabilia

Postcards, retail bags, lithographed signs, promotional tins and posters, branded sacks, and other printed or display pieces from the Hoffmann-Hayman story.

Newspaper Ads

San Antonio-area newspaper scans, roughly 1911-2015—display ads, mentions, and articles featuring the company and its brands.

Not Our H & H

Lookalikes from other firms—different Hoffmann lines, unrelated H and H marks, cleaners, beverage labels—for comparison with Hoffmann-Hayman pieces.
