Antique amber poison bottle, Not To Be Taken bottl

NL, Reginald Cole, Bonavista, 709-363-7975. Features of "Not To Be Taken" Bottles
The 19th century saw a rise in accidental poisonings due to easily accessible and poorly labeled toxic substances.[2] Before regulations, anyone could purchase poisons like arsenic or ammonia without restrictions, often stored in unlabeled containers.[2] This led to frequent mix-ups and accidental deaths.[2] To combat this, the Arsenic Act of 1851 in the UK and subsequent legislation aimed to regulate poison sales.[2] Designers and manufacturers responded by creating distinctive bottles, often with tactile features, to instantly identify them as containing dangerous substances
