Big Blue Poison Bottle!

[denmar]

I found this in the shed of a house I brought in 2005 It has its original stopper and the bottle is in great condition, The label is almost complete and actually has 2 dates on it, 1932 on the original label and a small label saying 1941 anybody know which date relates to the bottle and is it worth keeping. It is 15" high (including the stopper)

Here is the label

It's English (of course) and fairly common. I will need to know if there is any words embossed on it and where to give you an accurate ID. But even at this size, they are only worth around $20 to $30.

It has POISON embossed on it

Thanks for that, think I will keep it though because its a good looking bottle

Does it have POISON on the front above the label and again on the back?
It looks like a KC-52. They come in a wide range of sizes up to 1 gallon.
They also come in Amber, Clear and Aqua.
It's a substantial bottle. There are some rather large English poisons out there. Must have been bought at the Edwardian Sams Club. Common, but very impressive to look at in that size.

Is it usual Steve to have a clear stopper on a cobalt bottle?
Just wondering.

Yep - POISON on the front above the label and also on the back in big embossed letters.

It does, doesn't it.... But I usually see them this way. Probably any number of reasons for it, but they probably ordered a bunch of stoppers in 1 color and put the same stopper on all the bottles, no matter what color they ordered or received.A neutral color so they didn't have to match them to the bottle.
