Nice find. You have a KT-9 triangular American poison. These originally contained mercury bichloride, a corrosive substance that used to be sold widely as a disinfectant. It was sold in these bottles under the name Triloids or Trilets, by the William Warner Co. They date from the late 1800's-early 1900's. I have seen them sell lately between $15-$30. I hope this helps! Jim
