We added this Baltimore-area Joy-Cup one-pound cylindrical slip-lid tin after an eBay purchase from bullseye_emporium—not Hoffmann–Hayman merchandise, but useful regional packaging context beside the San Antonio line. The listing tied the brand to Kroneberger; Baltimore is also where Simpson & Doeller Company ran a major label-and-tin lithography trade, the same firm whose skirt mark appears on a 1920s H and H Blend tin in the collection. The face reads in the same broad idiom as our Sam Houston one-pound tin—portrait roundel, wreath sprays, red-white-blue blocking, and large COFFEE type—though the roaster and brand differ. Joy-Cup Brand sits on the crown band, EVERY CUP A CUP OF JOY curves on the skirt, and the label shows honest age: tarnish on the slip lid and edge wear where the litho meets the metal shoulder.
