The transparent glass reveals an amber liquid, typical of rum, and the whole shows a visible patina, marking its age and authenticity. The bottle is topped with a red wax cap, applied manually, with a characteristic drip on the neck, attesting to a traditional sealing process used for spirits of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe label on the front bears the inscription \"RHUM des Plantations SAINT-JAMES\", accompanied by illustrations and inscriptions partially patinated by time. The graphics of the label, with its old fonts and ornaments, clearly evoke an aesthetic of past decades, reinforcing the vintage character of the piece. A printed medal and the mention \"Plantation Fondée en 1765\" (Plantation Founded in 1765) are also visible, a typical detail of Saint James productions highlighting their historical heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle has a rectangular shape with sharp angles, classic for 20th-century spirit miniatures, and is distinguished by its functional simplicity. The transparency of the glass, slightly altered by fine traces of internal deposit or condensation, suggests that the bottle has not been opened. The red wax cap, although showing small surface defects and a drip, remains generally intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe edges are clean, with no visible chipping on the presented side. The label, yellowed and stained, shows signs of prolonged storage, with traces of aging and partial wear of the printing, but it remains generally legible and retains its historical appeal. No apparent stopper is visible under the wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of miniature bottle, also called a \"mignonette\" or \"sample bottle\", was commonly used for the promotion or tasting of spirits, and reflects a careful presentation by the Saint James brand, an emblematic reference in agricultural rum from the French Antilles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
