Another first for me. "Dr. Arturo C. Bosque" in script. "Tejadillo No.38 Habana" Embossed in the circle "Farmacia La Caridad". What are the odds - I can't find a local Massillon Druggist but I can find this. Anyone else seen one of these before?

Cool bottle! Anything in particular from Massillon you're looking for? I'll keep an eye out this spring at the flea markets down here

I would appreciate that. I collect just about everything, but My favorites are blob beer and pop and the local druggists.

Did you dig that or purchase it?

Cool find regardless. I bet there are some cool dumps to be dug in Cuba.

I bought it at an antique store in Alliance, Ohio. About 15 miles East of Massillon.

Hello,

I found the same bottle after Hurricane Matthew (October 2016) here at Vilano Beach, Florida. I have done some research and found this. I'm guessing based on the information I have found so far, the bottle is over 100 years old.

Very cool find! I've never seen a drug store bottle from Cuba before, or anywhere south of the US for that matter. It looks like it was probably made in the US in the late 19th century.
