Labels with names like arsenic, strychnine, etc. have been getting some attention on eBay lately. By the 1930s, most poison bottles were labeled as opposed to the embossed bottles of the 1870s-1920s, sometimes referred to as the era of "classic" poison bottles. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to dmrdart) Post #: 2
