Art of the Pick

Art of the Pick is a large-format photo book drawn from the American Pickers world: rust, paint, typography, and the oddball stories behind salvaged pieces. One of the objects pictured is a three-pound Broncho Coffee tin from Hoffmann–Hayman—a gift to Mike Wolf when the crew filmed an episode in Texas—so it sits at the intersection of pickers’ pop culture and the same regional coffee ephemera we document here.
