Poison Bottles

A time ago, I used to collect bottles and although I did sell most of them off, I still had a few, mainly mineral water bottles, left.  These were kept deliberately to form part of a window display.  There is nothing more beautiful than displaying coloured glass bottles in a window.

Rarer Poisons

More Common Poisons

Note: by collecting 2oz poisons it severely limits the many different types of poison that are available.  Many companies simply did not make them in this relatively small size.
