2 - 1 Lb. Packages of Old Plantation Coffee Beans with Labels & 2 - Additional Labels

The four antique Old Plantation Steel Cut one-pound coffee labels are collectible by themselves due to the illustration of the black laborer lifting a huge sack of coffee beans while similar laborers are walking up a gang plank of a ship with coffee sacks on their shoulders to load a Mississippi steamboat. 

The lot includes two very well-preserved coffee packages that have been wrapped around a rectangular form to preserve shape and condition, and two rare, complete, unopened packages with coffee beans and labels that have been preserved in cellophane.

Old Plantation Coffee was packaged by Hulman & Company in Terre Haute, Indiana. The company was founded in 1850 as a wholesale food and groceries supplier that became well known as a result of their Clabber Girl brand baking powder, launched in 1899.

An interesting fact is that the company purchased the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1945 and eventually sold the racetrack to Roger Penske in 2019.
