Vintage amber glass Simplex Soil Test reagent bottle manufactured by The Edwards Laboratory of Norwalk, Ohio. This bottle was part of an early soil testing system and is clearly labeled Reagent No. 12. It retains its original paper label and original cap, both in very good condition.
The bottle still contains a small amount of the original reagent liquid. This item is not a medicinal or pharmaceutical bottle and was used strictly for scientific and agricultural testing purposes. It is being sold as a collectible display piece only. The contents have not been tested and should not be used.
Amber glass was commonly used for laboratory chemicals to reduce light exposure, and bottles like this are now collected for scientific displays, laboratory decor, and cabinet-of-curiosities style collections.
