Trying to age this site need some help

I got a tip about this site no one has ever dug in this area. This was all on the surface. The straight side coke from Louisville would have been a bucket lister. A slick beer from the 20s it is machine made but a early one. Got a small milk glass jar. A complete MUM mfg co deodorant container with 984 on the top. i found this coin from china i don't know much about it if you have any info i would really apricate it. And the find of the trip would have to be this blown light amber poison with no damage P and D co on the bottom with 2 1/2 i think its hard to tell. It also has some very faint embossing on one side i cant read it. does any one know how old it is?



Thank you

The poison bottle was made for Parke, Davis & Co of Detroit, Michigan. Although founded in 1866, the partnership didn’t adopt the name Parke, Davis (also seen as Parke-Davis) until 1871, and wasn’t formally incorporated as “Parke, Davis & Company” until 1875… so that’s the earliest date for the bottle.

Unfortunately, most of the helpful dating information comes from the labels on the bottles, but generally bottles of this style date from the 1880s through to the very early 1900s. The known labels indicate that they held things such as ‘Corrosive Sublimate’ (mercuric chloride) and Strychnine Nitrate among other substances. The company went on to become the world’s largest pharmaceutical company and is now a subsidiary of Pfizer.

Cool finds! Approximately 1910-1925 based on what you've got. No idea about the coin. The faint embossing on the poison is "poison", just didn't fill on that side of the mould.

that is a Chinese Cash coin, there is a web site and you can figure out the date https://primaltrek.com/guide.html

Just spotted this post from January.
The Chinese cash coin is a 乾隆通宝 qianlong tongbao. The mint mark on the back looks to be from Beijing but it's difficult to tell.
