Caribe still distills rum. No dates on the bottle? https://rumratings.com/brands/1294-conde-de-cuba-elixir-del-caribe

No date that I could find.

No date that I could find.

I think the date is on the bottom of the bottle. I'm not sure how to decipher it.

That's a lot of good information there.
To me, it looks ( by the tax stamps) that its from between 1932 and 1944.
On the bottom of the bottle, which may be the date code, shows a 43.
I'm thinking 43 is the year.

Right in the middle of WWII

While in the process of making my garage a usable space, I ripped out a wall and found a full, sealed bottle of rum.
I'm having a hard time finding any information about it.
Any experts here?
I know this is a car forum, so no need to inform me of that...

Judging from the photos it looks like the bottle is not full which means that the alcohol inside has evaporated because the seal has deteriorated which means that what's inside isn't any good…but the bottle and label may have some value if this was a well-known distiller.
