    Poison Bottle

    Found this one the other day. First time I have found one of these. It is a Canadian bottle that has the word Tinct instead of liquid.

    Re: Poison Bottle

    I'm pretty sure that is a money maker bottle.. is it amber or puce? Puce color is a color that is defined as ranging from reddish-brown to purplish-brown, with the latter being the more widely-accepted definition found in reputable sources. Puce is a shade of red.

    This one is amber. I read that they come in 2 sizes and sometimes the word tinct is replaced with the word liquid.

    "Tinct" is an abbreviation of "tincture" which describes something dissolved in alcohol.

    According to Wikipedia, "Tincture of iodine is a disinfectant, usually 2-7% elemental iodine, along with potassium iodide or sodium iodide, dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and water."
    “A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.”
    --Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle) in "The Sign of Four"
