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."

Here's mine, dug by my bud's kid in a fifties dump in Watertown NY 30 miles south of Canada. I paid five beans but would dread paying more than 20.
