That is without the stopper, unfortunately I don`t have a picture. I was at my parents and they showed me it. It is a one winged (I think that`s what they are called) it shows the owl on one side, POISON on one side, and the other side I believe "Owl Drug Co." on the other side, across the top (shoulder area). Sorry for the lack of pictures and info. Also I think it is approx. 4 inches wide on all 3 sides. Thank you for the help! (in reply to epackage) Post #: 4

RE: 10 1/2 Inch Cobalt Triangle Owl Drug - 6/18/2011 9:10:58 PM    botlguy Posts: 896 Joined: 11/20/2009 Status: offline I will go so far as to offer you $400.00 for it right now if it's MINT. I always say: "Put your money where your mouth is." But then, I'm sort of a cheap skate and not really collecting additional stuff now and an sort of broke. But my offer is sincere and stands. I have smaller sizes to put it with. _____________________________ Jim Sinsley from northern Idaho. 45 year bottle collector Always buying WAW-WAW bottles and advertising, Santa Ana, California and Coeur d' Alene, Idaho bottles, bottles 2 1/2 " or less tall, Bottles with embossed OWL.

First of all, are you absolutely sure it's 10 1/2"?  The largest recorded size is 9 3/4", making this one extremely rare.  I have seen the 9 3/4" advertised between $900 and $1450.  Book value (2005, pre recession) is $1000 to $1200.  Now the 1450 is what the guy was asking, doesn't mean he got it or would have come down some. It was at the Smyrna show some years ago and many bottles are overpriced, knowing they will try and be talked down. Anyway, you can expect to it worth at least that amount, IF it is indeed 10 1/2" and undamaged as these prices are for undamaged examples.  But you have to take in consideration that it's also a recession out there, things aren't selling for as much as they used to these days... 60%-70% of the big bottle's historical high is where they are selling, depending on who is buying at any given week. Now, I would love to see the pic, and proof that it is this size.  And if it is, you can bet you could be hearing from a few people from the club....and it will be the bottle that will add another size into the book. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Ive seen comparable ones in the books be listed at 1,200 The gallon one at the show I didn't even ask about.... (in reply to Poison_Us) Post #: 10

Status: offline Only triangle lattice work bottles I know of are the KT-2 and KT-4, and neither get to gallon size.  Only lattice gallon is the KC-1.  But that's a whole 'nother line of bottles than this KT-1.  And yes, the gallon sizes go for plenty. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Sometimes they appear to be cobalt to people. There are a number of clear ones in larger sizes. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to Poison_Us) Post #: 14

Status: offline True, but not triangular.  All the triangular issues were cobalt...and only those were poisons.  If a clear one was ever made and someone nuked it, they would have ruined a one known bottle....but I highly doubt that. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

RE: 10 1/2 Inch Cobalt Triangle Owl Drug - 7/3/2011 4:32:22 PM    botlguy Posts: 896 Joined: 11/20/2009 Status: offline A lot of comments and speculation but no further input from the original poster, washingtonstatedigger. I suspect he / she is either mistaken, giving him / her the benefit of doubt, or a liar. Let's have some additional proof. I know a NUMBER of, lets say, less than reliable bottle diggers who live in my neighboring state of Washington. washingtonstatedigger, want to ante up? Got some proof?

He's swilling MAKER'S MARK Whiskey and that is ALMOST as good as GENTLEMAN JACK, my favorite. Pretty expensive stuff though. I'd bet a pint of GENTLEMAN JACK that the 10 1/2" Owl Three sided poison doesn't exist. _____________________________ Jim Sinsley from northern Idaho. 45 year bottle collector Always buying WAW-WAW bottles and advertising, Santa Ana, California and Coeur d' Alene, Idaho bottles, bottles 2 1/2 " or less tall, Bottles with embossed OWL.
