I can't find any records of Cobalt Poison. - 2/23/2010 4:06:14 PM    SeanColvin   Posts: 36 Joined: 10/2/2009 Status: offline This thing is impossible to find! I dug it in a dump from the mid to late 1800's from what seemed like a very poor house. Anyone have one? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

However I sure do like it! Did you find any other poisons on that dig? _____________________________ [~] |=| .-'' ''-. |-----| | ~-~ | | ~-~ | | XXX | |-----| '-----' (in reply to SeanColvin) Post #: 4

I've come across several amber specimens but never a cobalt! If the cobalt is listed for $100, what would an amber be worth?

Status: offline Cobalt KR-3 it's really common, it's just the most prevalent color for this bottle.  You say  you have seen 2 amber ones?  Are you sure your not confusing the KS-12 with this one?  Most obvious difference is the shape, rectangular vs. square.If it's truly a KR-3 (rectangular) in amber, it's worth about $800 in excellent condition (historical high). < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 10/29/2010 8:37:28 AM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

My mistake - I have seen square, not rectangular. Thanks for clarifying this for me - that's why I'm here, to learn. So, learn me somethin else here. I've just recently decided to focus my collecting on poisons and have been watching the following Owl Drug Co. poison: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160497291635&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT#ht_1705wt_932 Any suggestion on how far I should go with this, understanding that I really like it and am trying to expand my collection?

Status: offline   You have chosen well.  I have been watching this as well. (not that I could buy it, just want to see where it goes) This is the smallest of the KT-1s (only comes in 2 wing flavor)  Historical high is $200.  You dont reach that value in a KT-1 until you reach the 6" size...  Of course, this is the historical high.  Recession price would be around $120...but bottles are slowly reagining thier value as things "improve" (not that I can tell still being unemployed).  SO. this should sell between 120 and 200.  If you really want this, as they don't come along that often (2 wings had a shorter run than 1 wings) BID TO WIN (or as much as your feel you would pay for it).  Good luck! Ok, just saw that it had a fractured neck.  So that will compromise the price greatly.  Again, the prices I gave you is for undamaged bottles.  now it's up to you on how much a damaged bottles is worth to you.  Only good thing about a damaged bottle is you have an opportunity to get a rare example at an affordable price.  We have several very rare bottles, but they are damaged.  They display well, but they aren't perfect. < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 10/30/2010 11:52:34 AM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Status: offline If you want a nice bottle to have as well, this one is also good. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160495748232&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123 If I read it right, this is a KT-2, worth about $75 (historical high).  Usually see it's less expensive cousin KT-4 (only embossed on 1 side). There are many nice poisons on right now, if you got the cash.  2, KU-3s (Quine's Wedge) and a KU-20 (martins), both on our want list. < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 10/30/2010 12:10:09 PM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

I was also bidding on that other one but just got access to a pc now and it's gone. I am about 10 bucks short in my paypal acct for the Owl so I guess I'll keep on watching. Thanks again.
