Color photograph documented 2023-05-20 of the same heavily worn large square-cross-section bulk-size H and H Blend Coffee tin photographed square-on to its opposite broad face — a deep blue field framed by a red double-line border on a cream ground, with a single cream-bordered red cartouche containing a serif 'H' centered above and a matching cartouche with a serif 'H' centered below, and at the center of the panel a large red rectangular cartouche with a cream double-line border carrying in cream serif capitals the full guarantee text reading 'THIS IS A / BLEND OF / HIGH GRADE / COFFEES / SELECTED AND / ROASTED WITH / CARE AND IS / GUARANTEED / TO PLEASE' — the same 'blend of High Grade coffees' product phrasing already documented as early-1920s H and H Blend language on the three-pound rectangular tin in the museum collection; surface heavily scuffed and scratched with paint loss along the bottom edge, the flat square top plate above with its circular recessed lid well visible (lid missing), set on a green marble side table against a wood-floor interior — not in the museum collection
