GIGANTIC antique OWL DRUG Co deep blue POISON bottle FULL QUART 9.5 inches tall

Description: A 9 1/2 inch tall deep COBALT BLUE color unusual triangular shaped antique POISON bottle from the OWL DRUG Co which started in San Francisco in the late 1800's. This is the LARGEST SIZE that these bottles come in, a FULL QUART - 32 OUNCE sized bottle. This bottle is embossed on all three sides. It is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand Blown Into Mold bottle (BIM) with a tooled top, dating well over 100 years old. Bottle embossed: "The Owl Drug Co" on one side, "POISON" on another side and on the third size it has an embossed picture of an off-centered one-wing owl perched on a druggists' mortar, stirring a pestle. The mortar is embossed, "TODCo / TRADE MARK". TODCo. = The Owl Drug Co. Condition: This bottle is in good solid condition. It sat someplace inside/protected FOR DECADES as the inside of the bottle has a horizontal content line near the shoulder where it was filled with the contents for so long that it made an indelible horizontal line around the circumference of the inside of the bottle, just below the shoulder. It also has cloudy content stain and traces of age wear, small scuffs/scrapes/scratches on the outside, a dull finish, but there's nothing significantly wrong with it, bottle has NO cracks, no chips, no dings, no damage, etc. The label has been refurbished. When found, the bottle's label was filthy and tattered, with a section of it missing. It was soaked off, cleaned up, refurbished, and now it looks half way decent. The bottle was at some time sprayed with an acrylic finish to preserve and hold the paper label down. PLEASE see pictures for idea of bottle and label's overall appearance/condition.

This embossed OWL on this bottle is almost 5 inches tall, from the base of the mortar to the top of its head, making it a TOTALLY GREAT looking bottle. These old hand blown glass (BIM) cobalt blue triangular shaped Owl Drug poison bottles come in 10 different sizes, from the smallest 2 3/4 inch tall 1/2 oz. size to this large 9 1/2 inch tall full quart size. This is the LARGEST size, a 9.5 inch tall - 32 oz. size, the FULL QUART size. This bottle is listed as # KT-1 in the Poison Bottle Workshop book, the book on antique poison bottles. Though there are a few of these around, there weren't a lot of them made in the first place as the need for a pint of a poisonous substance wasn't that great and they were very susceptible to breakage in this odd triangular size as when they lay flat, the top edge was easily crushed. Antique poison bottles are quite collectible as they were most always made in odd shapes or forms, unusual colors, and had fancy or extraordinary embossing patterns on them. Though originally these were all things to let a user know, by sight and feel, that the bottle's contents were something not to be consumed, today these are all the things that makes poison bottles such a collectible category of antique bottle collecting, and this one in the deep COBALT BLUE color, the unusual TRIANGULAR shape, and with the word POISON spelled out in LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS, all make for an outstanding example of all of this.
