Antique green glass apothecary poison bottle dating back to the late 19th or ear

Antique green glass apothecary poison bottle dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. Bottle has recessed, gold-bordered label which reads "LIN: BELLADON:", which stands for Linimentum Belladonnae (Belladonna Liniment). The deep vertical fluting or ribbing across the body was a vital safety feature. In low-light environments or by candlelight, the distinct ribbed texture warned pharmacists and patients by touch alone that the bottle contained a deadly poison.
