This small tin comes from Haysville, Kansas. It is in amazing shape, great color, and included the original lid. The tin is empty but appears to be sealed. This is the first round tin we’ve seen in the half pound size and it is such a great example that the embossed gold around the lettering is still intact. This piece was clearly in someone else’s H&H collection.

A few additional shots from the day the tin arrived, shared to Instagram on 2019-04-17 with the caption “Half pound tin — great color and embossing.”

Front-on view of the half-pound tin on a stone surface, showing the full paper label: the "HALF POUND / NET WEIGHT" band along the top, the H AND H BLEND Coffee lockup in red and pale blue, the MEDIUM GROUND banner, the HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO., SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS panel, and the STEEL CUT 100% PURE footer. A second H and H Blend tin is partially visible directly behind.

Scale comparison: the newly-arrived half-pound tin set beside the collection's larger three-pound Blend tin. The three-pound tin carries its own paper label with "H AND H BLEND Coffee / HIGHEST QUALITY / PERC-O-DRIP GRIND — MAKES A PERFECT-FLAVORED BREW WITH EITHER PERCOLATOR, BOILING OR ANY DRIP METHOD / HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO. SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS."

Close-up detail of the embossed gold trim around the "H AND H" lettering at the top of the label, with the "HALF POUND" net-weight line running above and a glimpse of the "We Roast It — Others Praise It" medallion on the left edge.
