Poison's generally don't show up in these parts but here is my 1st intact one. A 1ouncer with the cork still in it. A D in a triangle on the bottom, Dominion Glass Co. .. Word on the street is that they a common here in Canada, but a nice find for me.

Nice! I don't remember ever seeing one quite like that before, though the general design is common. I've never found even a shard of one of those in the wild, anyway. Only blue poison bottles I find here (always broken, sadly) are the Carbolic Acid bottles.

Danny, the bottle you've unearthed is an early Dominion ABM iodine (though they were used for other poisons, too). They are not as common as people think, but they simply do not command the following that even more common Canadian poisons enjoy, like those Carbolic Acids. No matter, digging up a poison is a kick! I think everyone will agree, too, that it's not something dug up often. I've only dug up maybe 4 or 5 myself.

Thank u everybody for your thoughts, impressions and great info. The cork was intact so amazingly no liquid or dirt on the inside. It cleaned up perfect. There is room on my shelf for this little guy!
