coffin shaped pills!!! - 10/1/2008 10:25:36 PM    welddigger   Posts: 574 Joined: 4/24/2004 From: Hereford,PA. Status: offline http://www.rtam.com/glassworks_catalog/cgi-bin/SHOWITEM.CGI I don't collect poisons but I've never really seen a full one and to boot the pills are shaped like coffins?? Do you think this was because they thought maybe somebody that could'nt read the label, could'nt figure out why this bottle was so odd and differant than the rest of the bottles might actually stop and not take the pills because they were shaped like coffins?????

I think the point of the shape was so people didnt actually swallow them. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to welddigger) Post #: 3

Lot 360 - I have the big one - I guess the little one is more rare, huh?! Says perfect, but looks like there's a crack in the lip, doesn't it?

Mercury bichloride (also called corrosive sublimate) is nasty stuff. If eaten, those things would literally eat your esophagus from the inside out . Clear is actually a very scarce color for that bottle, as most of them were cobalt. With full labels and contents, that is a good poison bottle. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to pyshodoodle) Post #: 7
