Poison? B.P.Co. - 1/6/2006 10:38:02 AM    Ye Olde Prospector   Posts: 614 Joined: 1/23/2005 From: Bath, Maine Status: offline Recently I have seen a few of these bottles listed as poisons on ebay. I have not been able to find any listings as to them being a poison. I have dug several of these over the years. I have a very similar cobalt bottle embossed PEPTENZYME/Reed &CARNRICK/N.J. Also have a square cobalt bottle embossed BROMATED PEPSIN, just wondered if the B.P.Co. might be connected with this bottle as well. Anyone have more info on these bottles? Thanks.

It had the box, label, and content. I could shoot myself for selling it but I paid $4 and sold it for $50. The B.P. Co. is the Bromated Pepsin Co. The P and reversied P stand for Parker & Parker. I have never been able to get another. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Ye Olde Prospector) Post #: 3

My original guess was Bromated Pepsin guess I was correct. Probably was in a pill form as well. Didn't think it was a poison even though seller on ebay listed it as one. Thanks for the info, noe I don't have to keep searching my bottle bookd and magazines. Pretty little bottles in amy case.

A few sold well listed as poisons before the post but the last one had no bids at $9.99 listed as a poison. Maybe just coincidence, probably should have kept quiet.
