I can't quiet tell,but looks like it has "RIBS" on the sides and at the top. Will wait for pictures,but if it has ribs ,could have been a poison. _____________________________ JESUS said"COME TO THE WATER,STAND BY MY SIDE. I KNOW YOU ARE THIRSTY;YOU WON'T BE DENIED.

RE: blue bottle I.D. - 8/27/2008 1:27:14 AM    Jim Posts: 2429 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline That is a McKesson and Robbins bottle. They are listed in the poison bottle workbooks as KR-42. Many did indeed contain poison, but the same bottle style was also used for other McKesson products. They come in clear, amber, green and cobalt, and also in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. If I remember correctly, the bottle design was patented in 1929. They date from 1929 to the early 1940s. They make a nice display if you can find some different sizes and colors. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to mgh50cal) Post #: 7
