(RATITE) RAT VIRUS - 11/10/2005 7:28:45 PM    Ye Olde Prospector   Posts: 614 Joined: 1/23/2005 From: Bath, Maine Status: offline I am not really a poison collector but save them if I find them. Haven't been able to find out much about this one. Digger O'dell said it the company was in Chicago and the virus was in use from 1910-1913 for "Scientific destruction of rats,mice and field mice with a contageous desease fatal only to these rodents" Sounds like biological warfare to me. Guess it would qualify as a poison bottle. Haven't seen it listed in any of my bottle books though. Anyone have any idea to value on this one? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Some countries still use them, but they were outlawed most places a long time ago. Sorry can't find anything on the company other than a Digger O'Dell question...

Poison listings can be quite confusing. Some listings I have seen call a lot of things poisons. Antiseptics, 3-in-1 oil, even bleach and ammonia are sometimes included. Can cause a lot of confusion. There were a lot of products that were put in bottles with ridges.ribs etc that were not always poison. Thanks again. Cliff (in reply to Ye Olde Prospector) Post #: 6
