A BIM example would date around the turn of the century. They are common and worth about $5. Still, nice to find and something different that you won't dig every day.

RE: Dug my first poison - 7/30/2006 10:12:24 PM    Jim Posts: 2434 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Nice job, Tony. That is a different variant of the KV-1. They came with POISON on the left, on the right and on both sides like the one you just found. There is also a clear one, which is scarce. They also come in various sizes, up to over 10" tall. The small amber ones are worth about the same amount regardless of type. The clear ones and the large amber ones are worth more. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 6
