U D Co Cobalt Poison - 12/9/2006 7:35:13 PM    diggerof river   Posts: 11 Joined: 1/7/2006 Status: offline I have a cobalt poison bottle that is triangular and stands 3 in tall.  It has a mold seam all the way to the lip.  on the bottom, it has U. D. Co.  and what looks like a symbol for Hazel Atlas Glass Co, and the number 7.  It also on one side has lattice & diamond pattern and the word poison.  Any info would be appreciated. digger Post #: 1

They were made by several different glass companies. All of the labeled ones I have seen contained mercury bichloride (corrosive sublimate) antiseptic tablets. They are cool bottles, fairly common but still worth about 20 bucks. ~Jim  _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to diggerof river) Post #: 2
