Optical spectrophotometry and infrared photometry of the counterpart of PKS 1301 - 19 proposed by Peterson et al. (1973), currently classified as a BL Lacertae object, are presented. The spectral flux distribution is close to that of a black body, differing markedly from that expected for a BL Lac object. New measurements of the position of the optical object, compared with the Molonglo position of the radio-source indicate that the Peterson et al. candidate is a very unlikey optical counterpart of the radio-source. The optical field of PKS 1301 - 19 is empty down to a V magnitude of about 23.
