Sam Houston Coffee Branded Insulated Jug

A Sam Houston Coffee insulated jug in tall red-painted metal, with a wire bail handle, black wood grip, and a small screw-cap opening set into the domed top. The paper label on the front is classic early Sam Houston: an ornate silver script name over a central oval portrait of the Texas hero, flanked by rows of stars, with “Perc-O-Drip Grind” and “For Percolator, Boiling or Any Drip Method” running beneath the portrait and “COFFEE” in block letters at the base. Chipping and paper loss around the label edges, along with worn red paint on the body, place the jug firmly in the period. The Perc-O-Drip label artwork matches the standalone Sam Houston paper label already in the collection — peeled from a one-pound tin in the same line — and Sam Houston ran in mid-1930s newspaper ads alongside H and H Blend and Texas Girl. Branded serving-ware at this scale is considerably less common than the retail one-pound tins.
