Lysol Type Poison Bottles

 

There are so many variations of Lysol bottles but not many in the very smallest size which equates to the 2oz bottle:

The Lysol bottles are very common but less so in the 2oz size as they are the smallest size that they come in.  There are also many different brand names associated with Lysol.  There are 5 different sizes of bottle called 0 to 4.  The colours vary significantly including all shades of aqua, amber and green.  There are much rarer colours of cobalt blue and even black.  I have only come across three 2oz bottles so far.  A straight sided one with ribs down the front and two with a cross-hatched lattice of diamonds.  Rarer examples have sloping sides.

 

The Patent no. is 641401 and dates from August 1914.
