I found my first poison about a month ago and had a couple questions.
There are tiny white flakes blown into the glass does anyone know what it may be?
Also it has some out of place embossed dots around the shoulder and sides that aren’t uniform is this common?
Thank you ahead of time

This is a coffin poison. Very desirable poison. Has a bit of value. Check the SOLD listing on ebay searching for COFFIN POISON BOTTLE.

Was this a poison or medicine bottle?

That’s a Chemical/Drug vial probably from the 50-60s. I believe the W on the bottom stands for the Wheaton Glass Company.

RE: the cobalt KU-18. The flakes could be impurity’s. I do see a lot of seed bubbles. As for the extra bumps, I looked at all out 3” examples and I’m finding them on em too. Very nice example you have there.
