I found a bottle with the inscription Black Leaf on the bottom. I did some research on black leaf and found out that it is an insecticide that used to be made out of pure nicotine. Is that what my bottle contained?

hey Jesse, Probable not real rare but it would be easer if you post a pic. Nicotine insect poisons and fungisides are still used and some still come in bottles.
