I think the stopper is non-original though (may be why it is stuck!) 32 on the base may be 32 Ounce, it is common to do this. Date - 1920-20 I'd say. Value: Well over here it would not be high, perhaps $10-15 USD equivalent. Andyf (in reply to onabininger) Post #: 3

This is a common English poison which could date from the 1920s up to possibly the 40s or 50s. I heard before that this style of bottle was used for bleach, but they could also have had other uses. They bring around the same price here in the U.S., sometimes a little less. They are still a cool-looking poison bottle.
