U D Co Cobalt Poison

[diggerof river]

I have a cobalt poison bottle that is triangular and stands 3 in tall. It has a mold seam all the way to the lip. on the bottom, it has U. D. Co. and what looks like a symbol for Hazel Atlas Glass Co, and the number 7. It also on one side has lattice & diamond pattern and the word poison. Any info would be appreciated.

That bottle is a KT-4, used by the United Drug Co. of Boston. They were made by several different glass companies. All of the labeled ones I have seen contained mercury bichloride (corrosive sublimate) antiseptic tablets. They are cool bottles, fairly common but still worth about 20 bucks. ~Jim
