Hello. Do any of you poison collectors know if this is an American poison or a foreign one? It’s a triangle shape and is embossed with Poison on the front and has a place for a label on the back. Also vertical ribs on the other side. It stands 3 ¼ inches high too.

Thanks, Tom

Not 100 % certain on the origins of this one..
Have dug many 100s of poisons over the years and have never had one this shape although i have seen them for sale in auctions and shows..
Would tend to side with them be a US bottle

unfortuately it appears to have a mold number and not a maker symbol on bottom so unless you find one with a label, find it in a glass maker catalog, or figure out where people are digging them you may never know.

Thanks for all of the replies. Its really hard find out because US and English poisons can look very similar. My personal opinion is that its US but that’s only a guess. Someday I may figure it out.
