Broncho Coffee Tin

We’ve been looking for this tin for 10 years! It has one of our favorite stories from the beginning and involves the TV series, American Pickers.

How did we know about Broncho Coffee? We found newspaper advertisements and it is listed on the original sales forms in the factory. As far as age, this tin was produced after March of 1917 when H&H bought Morrison Coffee, making it older than the coffee factory (1932) and over 100 years old.

We got it in an eBay auction, and it arrived from Missoula, Montana. This is only the second Broncho tin we’ve ever seen. As we suspected from other H and H products, the Broncho tin displays “Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Co.” on the side. We’re super happy to add it to the collection after a 10 year search.

The Internet shows the source auction at Brian Lebel’s Old West Events on Jan 20, 2023, lot 358 in Mesa, Arizona, two old west tins, Broncho coffee and Sunset Trail cigars.
