Not sure, but bottles from the 40s had the glass pipe, so your bottle is older, 1890-1910 imho. Thanks for sharing VintageHeart ;)

Welcome to the forum. Always a good thing when you can walk out your back door and find nice bottles.

I'm thinking turn of the century and it's a really cool looking bottle. I had one years ago that I dug in Thomasville Georgia that had the skull and cross bones. It was shaped like a coffin. Wish I hadn't traded it off.

I'm not sure if I'll find another like it, I'll have to keep digging!

Nice. Hi there, fellow Canadian.

This was the first poison I ever dug. Such a thrill, eh? Machine-made, can't see the bottom but probably 1920s, early 30s. They eventually made these in screw tops with a different shape and paper label, without the embossing.

Welcome to the forum, and keep on digging.

- All of your recently posted finds look to be from around 1920-1930 give or take a few years. That's a good age for sure, I'd definitely dig that some more.
