this morning i went to a local antique store looking for bottles. i had already been there this summer, looking for fountain pens. they didn't have any, but i had seen some nice bottles there. so i came back there today to have a closer look at the bottles. there was a 1943 liquor bottle, a 1926 screw cap bottle from Rochester, then, the beauty. a magnificent pale green bottle, with a skull and crossbones on it. it's a bit dirty, but it should clean up very well, like my 1951 coke. now, what makes me think it's italian is that it's not written "POISON", but "VENENO". at 15$, i had to have it. i didnt have money with me, but the lady that owns the shop offered me to keep the bottle on hold, which i accepted.
i'm happy, it's my fifth old bottle, and my first poison.
i'll post an update when i go back and buy it.
meanwhile, anybody knows the model of such a bottle with the "VENENO" embossing?
EDIT: btw, it's about 8 or 9 inches tall for about 3 inches in diameter. the neck is very short. so short that when i first saw it, i thought it was a small Hutch!
