BUGINE

We dug a bottle yesterday that I haven't seen before. On the front panel it's embossed BUGINE. On the side it says IRON CITY CHEMICAL CO. The other side is embossed PITTSBURGH, PA. Any info would be appreciated.

Rectangle or square or?.... Just trying to find out if its a bug bottle or something different. Bugine doesn't come up for anything on goooooooogle.


Just had to modify my search. Google books has this on the stuff and ya, it's a bug bottle.

It's not in any of my books. Probably cuz they makers say it's safe for humans, just not for bugs. So it may have not been deemed a poison by anyone.
