>>298078 Here's some old medicine bottles from my 'poison' section. In the turn of the previous century, medicine bottles that contained toxic substances usually had oddly-shaped bottles or had bumps on the glass. This helped distinguish the bottle when people were searching their medicine cabinets in the dark (around 1900, electric lighting in homes was pretty rare and lighting lamps, candles, etc. was a hassle). Pic: a bottle of arsenic trioxide, a toxic substance employed in goldmining & medicine. Very toxic, but not having that bitter taste of regular arsenic, so it could be better insinuated in drinks, soup, etc. in murder mystery novels.
