Found in the 80-s inside of an old house. The house was at least 100 years old. Its owner was a rich trader. The stuff inside is liquid and doesn’t freeze in temperatures below 0c. What is it?

Some of the people opinions on it:

1. Possibly a fire grenade-type device filled with carbon tetrachloride?

2. I thought this was simply a common way to store any (dangerous?) chemical. The idea being that whatever you want to store is placed inside a test tube, and the top is then heated and twirled shut. Edit: Ampoule is the word I’m looking for

3. Based on the color, I agree that tincture of iodine is a possibility, but so is bromine, or some sort of substance with a reddish contaminant in it. But I just want to mention the ruler — this thing is 30 cm long? Whatever this liquid is, there is a hell of a lot of it. It’s probably not bromine, but if it is, I think there’s enough there to kill everyone in the room if it breaks, and some of the other things it could be are worse. I suggest you don’t try any more experiments on it like freezing it. Ask a university chemistry department for help identifying it and possibly disposing of it.

4. It could be iodine as well, to be broken into a container to disinfect surgery tools

5. Handle this with extreme care if this is carbon tetrachchloride. This stuff is VERY bad for you. It’s so bad that it is outright banned in any workplace by OSHA.

6. So due the size its no dr*ug. Maybe some kind of pesticide?

7. Looks like the tubes in which liquid brome is stored. Keep in mind that brome reacts with air and could be dangerous if impacted.

8. Found something like that in my Mom’s dresser once

9. Separate from it’s contents, a sealed glass container is often called an “ampoule.”

10. Pope blood

11. Could it be possible to derive its content by analysing spectrulm lines?

12. Crude oil?

13. Does the glass itself contain any visible markings?
