Fidel Castro’s Used & Signed Water Bottle

As he did with all his personal belongings for protection against assassination attempts, Castro has signed his name on it (on the reverse).

Under the left cover Castro has also written the name of his mistress “N. Revuelta” and that of their child together, “Alina”.

A spine tingling piece of Cuban history from the days of the revolution.

Acquired by the previous owner at the estate sale of Fidel Castro's mistress Natty Revuelta Clews, between December 2015 and July 2016.

The previous owner is British businessman Mr Gary Shannon, who knew the Castro family and their associates for 20+ years from circa 2000. Mr Shannon helped provide technology and communications infrastructure to Cuba.

The item formed part of Mr Shannon’s private Jagdamer Museum of Castro and Guevara memorabilia, from 2016 to 2020.

Natty Revuelta Clews (December 26, 1925 – February 27, 2015) was the mistress of Fidel Castro from 1955 until her death. Their daughter, Alina, was born in 1956.
