POISON bottle mystery?
We dug this little bottle up and cannot figure out what it is, 2-1/2" x 1'1/2" x 3/4", it has a seamline that stops at lip and its kind of heavy for its size and a deep blue/purple, weighs 1.0 oz, it kind of reminds me of a flask but its tiny, we tried to look it up on the web and still nothing on it, the P's on front are reversed (facing eachother backwards) and it has some weird embossing on it above like circles with letters and periods following them? that I cannot make out either, any help is appreciated! I figured out how to upload finally!!

The circles are blot outs from the letters being peened out of the mold. To find your bottle, you should try to find out what letters used to be there.

Sorry, I just realized what you meant by "peened out of the mold" you mean it was tapped out of the steel mold and those are like tap marks or something right to force it out, so they dont really say anything? Sorry, just trying to understand what you mean, thanks for info!

It always amazed me that so many consider this to be a poison.
to add to the above,it is a pocket flask,to be carried with you.
