Product details
A very unusual Victorian bottle. According to Google, Pacolol was a strong disinfectant - possibly similar to Lysol. It appears to have been used especially in maternity wards. The bottle, which is 14 cm high, has a flat face with the name embossed between vertical ridging, which indicated the contents were poisonous. It then has a curved back, going down to a half-moon base, on which is embossed "Pearson" and a regd number - 598492. The right side of the bottle (looking at the flat face) has tablespoons full graduations marked along it. The bottle is a deep emerald green. There is a large bubble taking up about half of the rear base. All in all a strange bottle, which would be an excellent addition, especially to a medical collection.
