I NO NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING! ABOUT POISONS BUT I DONT THINK THATS A POISON BOTTLE BECAUSE I HERD THAT ALONG TIME AGO, AT NIGHT WHEN SOMEONES SICK OR WANTS A DRINK AND THEY GO INTO A CABINET, SO THEY WOULDNT POISON THEMSELVES, THE MAKERS WOULD MAKE THE POISON BOTTLE AS NOTICE ABLE AS POSSIBLE. LIKE A LOT OF BUMBS STRANGE SHAPES, AND BRIGHT COLORS. ITS JUST A GUESS BUT 9999999,000000 / 100 % CHANCE THAT I AM RONG[>:]
Alrighty Jim,,,,,I'll wait for your reply, providing your vision is OK. HA
Anna, I thought maybe because it has a triangular shape that it might be a poison as it would "feel different" in the dark, but that's just a guess. Thanks for your replies
Not a poison bottle, although it could have very well contained a poisonous substance. Triangular bottles are an uncommon shape, but I have seen some plain ones like yours. McCormick sold laudanum in clear, triangular bottles, so it is possible that it may have been a label-only laudanum bottle from McCormick or someone else. But, as Matt said, it's hard to say without a label. Happy New Year! ~Jim
Mine is embossed "Milton" and was dug in July in my backyard dump. It is somewhat smaller than yours at 4 1/2 inches. I'm not sure what was in it though. I did some searching without much luck.
