My Berkshire Stone Ginger Beer Collection

Martin's Poison Bottles

 

Unfortunately so far I have only managed to collect one 2oz Martin's Poison:

click on images below to enlarge (you can then zoom in further using the wheel on your mouse):

Martin's poison bottles or more correctly Dr. Martin's U-Bend bottles are not a common bottle.

 

It has a Patent no. of 16139 dated 21st July 1902.

 

The wording on the bottle above is as follows:

 

One side:  THE MARTIN / POISON BOTTLE

Other side:  POISON

Back end:  PATENTED

Front end:  2oz

Bottom:  S S A LTD / MANCHESTER

 

This wording is the ONLY variation found in the 2oz bottle so far and aqua is the only colour although there is a green coloured one recorded in a larger size.
