Bottle #34: H & H Coffee (Crystalvac Jar)
artifact active p2
The 'Crystalvac' vacuum-packed coffee jar ordered by Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company in 1932 (a quarter-million units, one of the largest single glass orders in Texas history). Clear glass: $20.00-$22.50. Amber glass: $60.00-$75.00 — the single most valuable standard item in the entire catalog, with a further $10.00 premium for an intact original screw-on lid reading 'We Roast It - Others Praise It.'

Why Track This
The single most valuable bottle/jar in the entire collector catalog, and the physical product of the best-documented individual sales order in the company’s history.
Current State
Amber-glass examples ($60.00-$75.00) are worth roughly three times the clear-glass version ($20.00-$22.50) — a striking premium reflecting rarity or collector demand for the amber variant specifically. An intact original lid (“We Roast It - Others Praise It”) adds a further $10.00.
Next Action
None.
