A cobalt blue poison bottle, a milk bottle, an amber poison bottle, and an old 160 fl oz jar with a wire handle. What do you think?

I've been wanting to find one of those coffin poisons. I've found broken ones but never an intact one before. They usually say Carbolic Acid on them, I think yours is a newer version which wasn't used for as long.
Never seen the Terrace Hill Dairy before, any idea where it's from?

Terrace Hill Dairy was located in Brantford, Ontario. From what I could find, this bottle was from the 60s. They had different variations of their milk bottle from different years: different designs, etc.
I snagged it from an antique mall. To me, it's a pretty fascinating find.

Oh yeah I wondered if it was Brantford, since I looked it up and there is a Terrace Hill there, but the US spelling of "flavor" threw me off. Though I've seen that on other bottles from that era as well, not sure if the spelling was as standardized back then as it is now.

When I was a kid, that IODINE was a thing us kids didn't look forward to getting put on your cuts. That stuff burned/stung something awful. If you were lucky your parents would apply either Mercurochrome or Tincture of Merthiolate. They did not sting like the iodine. The reason for the poison label was it was not to be drank. I have no idea what the effect would have been, but the skull and crossed bones was enough of a warning to keep away from it...!!!

I'm old enough to remember my Mom giving me Iodine on Cuts, Scrapes, ect., ect., when I was a Kid in the 1970's. It had a funny Orange Color to it if I remember right? LEON.

Did it sting or give a burning sensation? If it did not sting/burn, then it was one of the other two I mentioned

I remember it stinging & burning, it was iodine, I'm pretty sure you can still buy it nowadays. LEON.
