Antique pharmacy bottle with old label POULENC FRERES

This bottle has a very interesting historical feature: originally printed in the name of Établissements Poulenc Frères (86–92 rue Vieille-du-Temple in Paris), it is overprinted with a banner stuck in red ink "Société des Usines Chimiques Rhône-Poulenc".
This overlay directly reflects the merger and merger in 1928 between the Société Chimique des Usines du Rhône and the firm of Poulenc Frères.
At the bottom of the bottle is also its original "HAZARDOUS"- "DANGEREUX" warning label.
Carbon tetrachloride was an organic solvent widely used at the time for degreasing, chemical preparations, as well as in entomology as an agent in tuant vials for insect preparation.
Height of the bottle: 22.5cm - Diameter: 8cm
The main label has a patina of time with gaps and tears on the upper part (see photos), leaving nevertheless perfectly readable the name of the product, the addresses, the transition banner Rhône-Poulenc and the mention DANGEROUS.
