Green Hexagonal Iodine - 2/17/2007 1:33:32 PM    Flounder   Posts: 4 Joined: 2/17/2007 Status: offline Hi all, Sorry if this is going over old ground, but I'm new to the forum :) I looked around a little, but couldn't find any answers. I have a small, green, hexagonal bottle, (no stopper). It has a brown/orange label on with the words 'tincture of Iodine'. The back of the bottle has 'not to be taken', and the two adjacent sides are ribbed. on the bottom of the label, it says "united chemists association ltd, Cheltenham, London" I was wondering if there was anyone who could give me some information about it. I also have a pale green bottle, (although i don't think it's a poison bottle), with no label, just embossed 'Edgar Dow, (or Bow), Liverpool' and some kind of logo in the middle. This has the original stopper with it, but it has dropped inside the bottle. Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help :) < Message edited by Flounder -- 2/17/2007 4:36:53 PM > Post #: 1

Your poison bottle sounds like a standard English hexagon type. They come in many sizes, colors and embossing styles. I would guess that it dates between about 1900 and 1930. Most types of them are fairly common, but they are very nice bottles, especially with an original label. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time.

The hexagonal does have the original label, although torn in one corner, (the 'T' of tincture is missing and the 'I' of iodine). I don't have any pictures, but I will try and get one as soon as I can. Any value to these bottles? (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 4

With the label, I would say $10-15. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. (in reply to Flounder) Post #: 5
