Foreign or US cobalt poison? - 2/12/2005 12:54:14 AM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline Hello. Do any of you poison collectors know if this is an American poison or a foreign one? It’s a triangle shape and is embossed with Poison on the front and has a place for a label on the back. Also vertical ribs on the other side. It stands 3 ¼ inches high too. Thanks, Tom Attachment (1) Post #: 1

He would be able to tell if it's English or not. _____________________________ Dale Stannard (in reply to Bottleman) Post #: 5

Have dug many 100s of poisons over the years and have never had one this shape although i have seen them for sale in auctions and shows.. Would tend to side with them be a US bottle _____________________________ www.bottledigginguk.com/forum The home of the UK bottledigging/collecting forum check us out today !!!

Its really hard find out because US and English poisons can look very similar. My personal opinion is that its US but that’s only a guess. Someday I may figure it out. ~~Tom (in reply to Bottleman) Post #: 8
