H and H High Grade Three Pound Tin

This tin comes from San Antonio, TX fresh from a local estate sale. It went up on eBay by one of our usual sellers.

This is a three pound, high grade tin, missing the lid. The orange is either faded red sections or a new color to make this tin stand out. Larger tin?

We now have a one and three pound tin of High Grade coffee for the collection.

Update (2026-04-23): The question raised in the original post — “The orange is either faded red sections or a new color to make this tin stand out. Larger tin?” — is now answered. A second example of the three-pound High Grade tin documents the same label with the orange center panel still vivid and unfaded, confirming the orange as a deliberate color variant for the three-pound size, not a red that aged off. That second can is also missing its original lid (like this 2015 specimen) — the gain is condition on the body: clean litho and an intact read of every line and band, versus the weathering, rim rust, and bare metal of the eBay find here. For a closed High Grade can in the collection, the one-pound size still has the 2017 one-pound with matching lid and a battered 2014 one-pound High Grade; we still do not have a closed three-pound High Grade in the set.
