Not much information on the net about this one. 1890's cobalt blue, 1 panel embossed, mold blown and an applied neck. It reads Elysian MFG company, Chemists & Perfumers, Detroit U.S.A. Has a seal with an 'E' in the middle of it. Curious to the rarity and or value as well. Thank you.

Nice bottle, without a label there's no way of telling exactly what it held, but I assume it would be in the $50-100 range in great condition, nice find...

also if it were poison there would be what is called latticework on the bottle as well or a lot of times you would see a skull and crossbones and there are some shaped like coffins
