Vintage Pre-Revolutionary Cuban Bacardi Drink Coaster Autographed by Ernest Hemingway
Description
This highly collectible, vintage circular cardboard drink coaster dates back to pre-revolutionary Cuba. It features the iconic, historic typography of the Bacardi rum brand. The outer ring features the classic pre-revolution slogan, "Unico En Cuba - Unico En El Mundo" (Unique in Cuba - Unique in the World), framing the central area.
Autograph Details
The center of the coaster features a prominent, vintage fountain pen signature from legendary American author Ernest Hemingway, written out as "Ernest Hemingway" across the middle. Hemingway famously spent decades living in Cuba, famously frequenting Havana establishments like El Floridita and La Bodeguita del Medio, making this a remarkable crossover piece of literary and cocktail history.
