Galleries
These image galleries support the Hoffmann–Hayman (H and H) Coffee Company story in San Antonio: what we collect, where it was made, how it was advertised, and how to tell our material from unrelated “H and H” lookalikes. Each gallery is a curated grid; the posts elsewhere on the site carry longer notes on individual pieces.
Our Collection
The main photographic index of the museum holdings—tins, Crystalvac jars, bags, labels, small artifacts, and related items that appear in the collection posts.
The Factory
Historic exterior and interior views of the Hoffmann–Hayman plant, later building and street context, company paperwork (letterhead, sales forms), and a few images tied to suppliers or the physical site.
Newspaper Clippings
Scans of San Antonio–area newspapers and similar clippings (roughly 1911–2015)—display advertisements, mentions, and articles that document how the firm and its brands showed up in print over time.
Branding in Newspapers
Cropped logos, wordmarks, lockups, and product art taken from those print ads—so you can compare how tins, bags, and house marks read at a glance without paging through full pages. Each thumbnail links to a short post with context and, when it helps, back to the wider clipping in Newspaper Clippings.
Reference
Photographs of H and H and Hoffmann–Hayman items and scenes found online — tins, bags, signs, postcards, posters, sacks, delivery trucks, parade autos, and other ephemera we’ve documented but do not own. Kept separate from Our Collection so the difference between documented-and-held and documented-from-a-distance stays clear.
Not Our H & H
Items from other companies with confusingly similar names or marks (different Hoffmann lines, “H and H” cleaners, unrelated tins and bottles), kept here for comparison and to separate them from true Hoffmann–Hayman material.
Our Collection
Photographs of Hoffmann-Hayman tins, Crystalvac jars, advertising, and other items in the museum collection.
The Factory
Historic and current photos of the Hoffmann-Hayman San Antonio plant, street and rail context, company letterhead and forms, and a few supplier shots.
Newspaper Clippings
San Antonio-area newspaper scans, roughly 1905-2017—display ads, mentions, and articles featuring the company and its brands.
Not Our H & H
Lookalikes from other firms—different Hoffmann lines, unrelated H and H marks, cleaners, beverage labels—for comparison with Hoffmann-Hayman pieces.
