Denatured Alcohol Poison Vintage Amber Glass

Before modern cleaners lined the shelves, the neighborhood drugstore sold denatured alcohol by the bottle, and a bold skull-and-crossbones label made sure nobody mistook it for anything else. This amber glass druggist's bottle carries just such a label from Anderson Pharmacy of Anderson, Missouri. It is a nice piece of small-town pharmacy history for poison-bottle and apothecary collectors, or for a shelf of old drugstore glass.

Details

• The bottle is amber glass with a flared, cork-style lip and an embossed O in a square on the base.
• The red and white paper label reads Denatured Alcohol, shows the skull-and-crossbones poison warning with antidote text, and names Anderson Pharmacy, Anderson, Missouri.
• No cork or stopper is included.

Condition: Heavy white haze and mottled orange-brown residue over much of the glass, with some light scratches, and two small chips on the base heel. The paper label is intact and clean. See photos.
