RE: Poison Jar - 10/8/2008 6:28:27 PM    Jim Posts: 2401 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Bowker's Pyrox was an insecticide/fungicide powder that was used to protect plants.The jars with the glass lid and metal band date around the 1910s-20s. Later ones had a metal screw cap, but still have the POISON embossing. There were also larger stoneware Bowker's Pyrox containers. Bowker's jars are fairly common, but I always enjoy finding them. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Michdigger) Post #: 2
