Iodine History, The Amazing Iodine Pencil!!! (nerd alert, do not read if you are cool)I scored this neat little iodine pencil on etsy not long ago. The design is fabulous, the glass iodine tincture container screws into another protective container, which I believe is a thicker glass although I am not sure. A little searching indicates that this item may be pre-1939 although I cannot be sure as I have no images with which to compare:

Hmmm, I'm not seeing a skull and crossbones on the label!
This photo demonstrates the proper use of an iodine pencil. This is from a 1932 edition of Popular Science, so I'm sure that this was a relatively new item at this time.
