Hudson Bay Poison? - 12/30/2011 5:47:34 PM    JustGlass   Posts: 1205 Joined: 7/22/2005 From: Green Mountains, Vermont Status: offline I know where I can pick up a bottle that looks exactly like this Hudson Bay Co. poison for a third of the price of this one that went for  $155.49 on ebay last night. The problem is you cannot read HB Co. on the base. I can see where something was stamped there but it's unreadable other than a 0 or C. My question is, did any other maker produce a bottle like this poison bottle? Did this HB Co. bottle go for so much because of the embossed base? Stopper and bottle size appear to be the same. Im not a poison bottle collector but I would purchase the unreadable base one if its worth it. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Status: offline The KC-1 made by HB Co is one of the more desirable makers , but there are 7 different bases to these bottles. Makers embossing includes: W.T. CO. USA,   W.T. CO. (same Company, just 2 dif. embossings)  H.B. Co.  H.A. (in a diamond , and no, that's not Hazel Atlas), U.S.P.H.S, Plane base and a 3 part mold base. Just speaking for the cobalt issues (as the ambers, greens and teals command much more) the USPHS is the most desirable with HB Co coming in a close 2nd.  Reason the HB Co is sought after is there are only 4 sizes known of a chart of 16.  So there may be harder to find.   Generally, as a design, this bottle is quite common.  Just has some rare colors and variations, including makers. They will always be popular, like the KI-1s and 2s and KT-1s (Owl Drug Co) < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 12/30/2011 7:46:02 PM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Without the stopper I would say no! Also for clarity sake H.B. CO. stands for Haggery Brothers Company and not Hudson Bay Company.   (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 3

I found out today that this bottle is no longer for sale so I guess I will not be the new owner. If there is a next time at least I have a little more knowledge about these cool bottles. < Message edited by JustGlass -- 12/31/2011 5:43:04 PM > (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 4

Status: offline I got so wrapped up writing all that, I forgot about the value part.  Thanks for the rebound, Jerry! There will be plenty of opportunities with this kind of bottle on ebay.  May not be HB Co, but always find KC-1 for sale. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

CO. stands for Haggery Brothers Company and not Hudson Bay Company. A little more clarity. It's probably Hagerty Bros, 1850-1930 I believe. They made and/or imported a lot of stuff for the pharmaceutical industry. I'll see if I can find the book. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to Poison_Us) Post #: 7
