Could be 1 of a kind, but no promises. I have no found another one like it anywhere else.

No clue on year, but color of plastic suggests older. 

Would be an amazing peice to your Jarritos collection.

Smoke free, bug free home.

Humble Origins

When Francisco Hill first concocted Jarritos in 1950, he focused his attention on perfecting just one flavor: coffee. Unorthodox, perhaps, but Hill was committed to establishing an identity distinct from the American-style colas so prevalent in his day. His innovative recipe — and the glass bottle in which he packaged it, which resembled a type of clay water jug (known as “jarritos” in Spanish, which translates as “little jars”) ubiquitous throughout Mexico — caught on quickly.

Over the next several years, Hill expanded to more fruit flavors, especially ones found in orchards and groves across Mexico. With all his recipes, he placed an emphasis on natural extracts, not artificial recreations or approximations of fruitiness. By 1960, Jarritos had secured distribution in 80 percent of Mexico’s 31 states.
