My Berkshire Stone Ginger Beer Collection

Wilson's Poison Bottles

 

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

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

Wilson's Patent poison bottles are possibly the most recognisably shaped poison bottle.  The triangular design is quite unique.  They are always green with no other recorded colours.  In the 2oz version there is a rare worded variation for "MIRIAM'S EMBROCATION".  In other sizes there are also rare wording variations. 

 

It has a Patent no. of  5829 dated 17th March 1899.

 

The wording on the bottle above is as follows:

 

Version:  normal version

Front left panel:  NOT TO BE TAKEN / PATENT

Front right panel:  CAUTION

Back:  blank for label

Bottom:  2oz
