Thomas Nash arrived in the New World in 1638 and found his way to what is now New Haven, CT.
His descendants now number in the thousands, and we've developed some products based on Thomas and a couple based on my grandfather and his brothers who began in Grand Forks, ND, what is now the third largest food wholesaler in the USA.
We don't have a great many of any one item on hand, so orders are subject to available inventory. Once these are gone - well, you know that story.

 |  | Nash's Coffee Coffee Mug....or Tea or Juice......
 Nash's Coffee was once the toast (literally and figuratively) of the Upper Midwest. Sixty cups to the pound was the advertising slogan, and most of us are waaaaaayyyyy too young to know whether it was really good, but then it those days, if it tasted sorta like coffee and was hot enough, that was sufficient. Starbucks wasn't even a gleam in somebody's eye....
Here's a nice stoneware mug (dishwasher proof) with one of the last Nash's Coffee labels before the company was sold in the late 1960s. Notice the big handle for all size fingers.
We don't have many of these left, so if you have an inkling..... |  |  |  | Nash Coffee Can T Shirt
 Here is an amazingly accurate reproduction of one of the last Nash Coffee Cans from the 1960s. It's printed on a 100% cotton, generously sized white t shirt.
Quite limited quantities... |  |  |  | Thomas Nash Trivet
 This 6" x 6" ceramic trivet describes something of Thomas Nash's background, his sailing to America, his responsibilities in New Haven, CT, his wife and children.
What makes this particularly interesting is his signature from the Fundamental Agreement for the New Haven colony which he signed in 1639.
The copy is in black, the signature in dark blue with some additional blue accents. The trivet is cork-backed with a hanger, so it can be used on counter or table top or hung on a wall. |  |  |  | Nash Brothers Trivet
 My grandfather and his brothers began Nash Brothers in Grand Forks, ND, in 1885, as a fruit, confectionery, and tobacco store. Later the name was changed to Nash Finch Company, and it is now the third largest food wholesaler in the USA.
This 6"x6" ceramic trivet uses the main element of their corporate letterhead in the original black and adds, in dark blue, the signatures of the three brothers from the application of incorporation in 1894 - Fred P. Nash, Edgar W. Nash, and Willis K. Nash.
The trivet is cork backed with a hanger, so it can be used on counter or tabletop or hung on a wall.
Limited quantity |  |  |  | Thomas Nash Mug
 This ten ounce porcelain mug contains the same copy as the Thomas Nash trivet, which you may read more easily on the page for that item elsewhere in this section. Because the design wraps around the mug, we've shown both sides of the mug in the image.
It employs the same use of black and blue in the design.
The mug is dishwasher proof - a type we have been using for fifteen years with nary a complaint. It has room for large fingers, and its small diameter helps keep coffee, tea, or soup warmer longer.
An interesting approach to the concept of "an ancestral mug." |  |  |  | Nash Brothers Coffee Mug
 This design celebrates the Nash Brothers (Fred, Willis, and Edgar) who began, with - no doubt - the advice of their sister Flora - what is now Nash Finch Company.
Our design uses their original letterhead from the 1890s, and their autographs are drawn from the articles of incorporation, wrapped around our 10 ounce porcelain mug, with a handle to fit all sizes. |  |
