Iconically named “The Taster”, this depiction was created in 1906 by an artist in San Francisco for Hills Bros. Coffee, the first company to package coffee in a vacuum in 1900. Used as a store display, it shows an Arab man walking and drinking coffee, complete with his flowing Middle Eastern robe. The plaster store display stands 19 inches tall, measures 9 inches in width, and is 5 inches in depth, weighing approximately 8 pounds. The statue is free of chips and cracks and has excellent color. The base reads “Hills Bros Coffee” on the front. We believe this statue dates back to the 1930s and will be a valuable asset to your collection. 21484-QPPP
