Maker Laboratorio Farmacéutico 204 (Línea 1276, Vedado, Havana), under the Empresa Consolidada de Productos Farmacéuticos — the consolidated Cuban state pharmaceutical enterprise. A domestically produced, state-sector medicine. Date Circa 1960s. The "Empresa Consolidada de Productos Farmacéuticos" designation is a clear post-1960 institutional marker (the consolidated state enterprises were established after the early-1960s nationalizations), placing the box securely after 1959. Its late-1950s graphic idiom — in the manner of the pre-revolutionary private laboratories — is a carryover design style, not evidence of an earlier date, and marks this as the earlier of the collection's two Aminofilina boxes from the same Havana plant (Línea No. 1276). No printed manufacture date; the lot number is a batch code.

Back: "INDICACIONES Y DOSIS / Las que el facultativo señale / PRECIO AL PÚBLICO: $0.76 / LOTE:" + stamped lot number (≈ "311032").

The "Empresa Consolidada de Productos Farmacéuticos" nomenclature points to a 1960s date; the dating rests on that organizational naming rather than a printed production date. Provenance or a decoded lot/registration would confirm.
