Bottles from the past

[just starting]

I had the flu all last week and didn`t go on the hunt over the weekend ,so i took the opportunity to clean some bottles
i found sometime in the past, Can`t even remember where or when i found them.

First one is a little square one , about 2 inches high.It has got Angus & Co on the bottom. Perfume ,maybe ?

The second one is a small bottle about 4 inches high and has W.,Quinn Proprietor on one of the big flat sides and Bayley & co on one of the thin sides.
Perfume again ?

The third one is a nice little tri - sided bottle that could be a lotion or medication bottle. The only ID on it is 07 on the bottom.

The fourth one is a bigger square bottle that had a cork in it . It says W.T Co on the bottom. Alcohol ?

The last one is some sort of poison. I don`t know how to read the ID on the bottom of the bottle.

#1 is a ink bottle , the ledges on the sides are to rest your pen on (commonly known as a "cabin ink " ) , 2 could be a medicine bottle and 3 was some kind of poison , the color , odd shape and embossed sides were to warn illiterate people and also to make them recognizable in the dark . There were many cases of poisonings in victorian times , some accidental , some pretty suss !
