Authentic vintage clear glass dose / measuring / apothecary glass from the Live & Let Live Drug Store in Miami, Florida.
Etched lettering reads: LIVE & LET LIVE DRUG STORE - Prescription Specialist - 3520 N. W. 17th Ave. PHONE 2-7416 MIAMI, FLA.
Vertical measuring scale with markings including TABLE, DESSERT, and other dose indicators (typical for pharmacy measuring glasses of the era).
Age / Dating: The short-form telephone number “PHONE 2-7416” (a 5-digit style exchange number) dates this piece to roughly the mid-1950s through the early 1960s. Miami (and most of the U.S.) transitioned from shorter/exchange-style numbers toward full 7-digit all-number calling starting around 1958, with the change largely complete by the mid-1960s.
Supporting history: Live and Let Live Drug Store Inc. was incorporated on January 1, 1954, with the principal address listed as 3520 N.W. 17th Avenue, Miami, FL 33142—the exact address on the glass. The pharmacy continued operating at or near this location for decades afterward (later associated with the still-familiar (305) 635-5203 number).
Condition: Good vintage condition overall. Clear glass with legible etched lettering and scale. No chips or cracks (please examine the images carefully).
Dimensions: Approx. standard small dose-glass size (roughly 3–4 inches tall; exact measurements available on request).
Perfect for: Collectors of vintage pharmacy / apothecary items, Miami / Florida memorabilia, mid-century advertising glass, or medical history displays. Great display piece or conversation starter.
