A three-pound H and H Blend Coffee Crystalvac jar in clear glass, wearing a red-and-cream paper wrap label. The front shows the H and H lockup over “Blend Coffee”, a “Highest Quality” banner, and the “Perc-O-Drip Grind” tagline, with “Hoffmann-Hayman Co., San Antonio, Texas” running across the base; the reverse carries a coffee pot illustration and the slogan “We Roast It, Others Praise It”. Label loss and rubbing along the seams is consistent with years on a pantry shelf, and the black metal screw lid is still in place. The three-pound size is the larger of the paper-labeled Crystalvac jars in the collection.

Reverse of the same three-pound Crystalvac jar, showing the "100% PURE / H AND H BLEND Coffee" side of the paper label with a central illustration of an H and H Blend tin beside a steaming coffee pot and cup, the "We Roast It, Others Praise It" banner in script, and "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." along the base. The edges wrap to the front panel ("THREE POUNDS") on the right. "H AND H" embossing is faintly visible on the bare glass above the label, and the original black metal screw lid with wire bail is still in place.
