Nice find. This is the more common variant of the rare KO-1 poison with the skull and stars. It is listed as KO-1B with a value of $25. It is identical to the KO-1 except for the lack of the skull and stars embossing. It's a cool bottle, and one that is not seen as often as many of the other common Sharp and Dohme poisons. It most likely contained either Mercury Bichloride or Mercury Cyanide antiseptic tablets. ~Jim
