2015 three-pound High Grade tin, with orange center panel, teal ‘VACUUM PACKED’ banner, and ‘Fresh COFFEE’ on a navy field; this specimen is also missing its lid like the 2015 can, but the body is in much better condition (documented 2026-04-23)

Color photograph documented 2026-04-23 of a short, squat cylindrical **H and H High Grade Coffee vacuum-packed tin** — a notably clean second example of the same label design as the museum's [2015 three-pound High Grade tin](/h_and_h_coffee_high_grade_three_pound_tin/) (the 2015-11-24 eBay find from San Antonio, which arrived missing its lid) — resting on the same oriented-strand-board (OSB / chipboard) workshop benchtop used for the 2026-04-23 [H and H Coffee keywind second-example](/h-and-h-coffee-keywind-tin-second-example/) frame, photographed square-on to the front face: at the top of the tin, a **yellow double-line border** framing a broad **orange/vermilion center panel** (the distinctive color that distinguishes the **three-pound** High Grade tin from the otherwise graphically identical **red-paneled one-pound** variant already documented in the collection — see the [2017-03 one-pound photo](/h-and-h-high-grade-one-pound-tin/) and the [2017-08 one-pound-with-lid photo](/h-and-h-high-grade-one-pound-tin-with-lid/)), the panel carrying **'H AND H'** in tall cream-white serif block capitals with a navy-black double-outline/drop-shadow and a small cream-on-orange 'AND' ligature centered between the two H's, and **'HIGH GRADE'** in cream-white serif capitals on a second line below; below the panel, a short **teal/aqua pennant-ribbon banner** edged in darker navy carries **'VACUUM PACKED'** in navy-blue serif capitals; the lower two-thirds of the body is deep navy blue with a small **'Fresh'** in white/cream cursive script at the lower left (with a red drop-shadow/underline flourish) and **'COFFEE'** running wide across the navy field in massive cream-white serif block capitals with navy-black outlines; green coffee-plant branches with paired leaves and small red cherries peek in on the left flank (and, by design symmetry, on the right flank off-frame); along the base of the tin, a narrow orange horizontal band and a red pinstripe close the label out; the **top press-fit closure is missing** — the can opens to a **rolled or crimped metal rim** and dark interior (the same *lid off* condition as the 2015 three-pound eBay find), with no cap visible in the frame; the body litho is in strong condition — paint crisp, colors vivid, only minor handling-scuff wear and a few small paint nicks, **no** heavy rust or the scraped bare-metal upper rim of the 2015 specimen — a **condition-upgrade second example** of the three-pound H and H High Grade design on a **second lidless can** (documented 2026-04-23)
