I have a lot to learn about poison bottles!!!!! - 1/16/2012 9:33:04 AM    Longhunter   Posts: 224 Joined: 2/16/2009 From: Meridian, Mississippi Status: offline I had this bottle marked on my ebay watch list. I have learned if I see what a particular bottles sells for I can tell what I should be paying for a similar bottle. WELL, here is a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110808336753&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123 The auction started out with a nice small starting bid. I look this morning to see the sale price. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the sale price. $893.99...... !!!!!!!!! I have a lot to learn!!

Status: offline I wondered if anyone else noticed this.  To the untrained eye, this looks a lot like a more common KT-4.  But if you look, the neck is too long...and it's ground.  The KT-4 is a corker.  Next photo shows the dobber....and the next.  OMG, it's square!! This, my friends, is a KS-21.  This is now the 3rd known to exist.  It sold for book value as you will probably never see another.    I saw it when it came on and placed a bid ($50).  I was high bidder for a few days.  I knew I wouldn't win cuz this brought out the big guns and we're not in a position to compete these days.  I don't know who won (I can find out tho), but I do know who came in 2nd... _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

That's the theory anyway... _____________________________ My web site - http://www.AntiqueMedicines.com/ Medicine BLOG : http://antiquemedicines.com/blog/ Email me : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to Longhunter) Post #: 3
