This is a local poison from Manchester, NH. After Researching this bottle, I have found that one of the streets (Wayne) no longer exists...and this specific druggist was only in business for like 5 years. So far this bottle is the only one that exists as far as I know. Any more information would be appreciated.

I did some more research to make sure, and it is definitely a new discovery. Unlisted in any of the books, and nobody I talked to has heard of it. You scored a killer rarity there, bro. I know I've said it, but I'll say it again...Congratulations!

I wouldn't blame you if you would never let that one go, but if you would ever decide to, I would be interested for sure. Jim

Hi DF. Wayne St is still there but doesn't seem to intersect Main anymore. On a 1905 map it did. I think a lot of streets and even a bridge or two got detoured or lost when 93 was built. The two met just about at W Bridge st on the west side of the river. I don't know if that will help though.

Congrats D.F! When I first saw that I thought "what does he mean poison bottle?" then I saw the Not To Be Taken.. Just another example of what makes this lil obsession so exciting. You just never know what'll pop up. Nice find.

We have dug many RARE bottles from this deep dump we are into.....you just never know what may come up next in this place. Every time we think we found a really good one, something better always emerges!

Well done and certainly is a great bottle and was it made by W T & co as it looks very similar to several amber chemist bottles we have over here.
