Being a Skull & Crossbones , I'd say Poison Bottle.

But Sorry to say, Yours appears to be a Recently Made Decorative Bottle.

I HOPE I'M WRONG.




I like it though !

Does it say something near the Bottom ?

Thanks for the reply Jeff. The front has skull and bones with what looks like W with a 7 on top of another 7 and H below that and a copyright symbol, the back has R.I.P and use with care with patented below that.. I like it because the bottle is shaped like a coffin.

I believe Jeff's right. This looks like the blue "coffin" poison bottle reproduction made by the Wheaton Glass Works around 40 years ago. Still, it's a neat find! They often bring $20-30+ on eBay. Check "Completed Items" there and you'll probably find a few.

Yes, it looks like a Wheaton reproduction. They were made in different colors. I have a whole ruby red collection packed away somewhere. I didnt know they were worth that much. Even repros can eventually have value.
