Is this a bona fide poison? - 2/25/2007 8:17:24 PM    hj   Posts: 112 Joined: 5/14/2006 From: Western Pa. Status: offline Hi all, I was sorting through my finds from this past summer, and was wondering if someone could tell me if this bottle would be collected as a poison or just a med. Thanks, HJ http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m_86490/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#86490 Post #: 1

At a glance, I thought they were the same bottle. What's the difference between the two? Also, on your site you have a blue, what I thought was a Philly med. or druggist (I have some). Is this a proven poison or just a bottle in the group pic? It's on the far left near the bottom. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

Status: offline Hi Meech, From the limited info that I have been able to find, the blue one states that it is for "external use only", and the green is for internal. What it did internally or externally I have no clue... HJ (in reply to Flaschenjager) Post #: 4

The product was introduced in 1913, and was still around at least into the 1940s. There are several variants of both the green and blue bottles. The blue one is listed in the poison books as KR-38. They are uncommon, but not rare. A very desirable and attractive bottle with an interesting history. Value is around $50-60, but I have seen them go for over $100 on eBay. Nice find, I have two different blue ones, but still need the green. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to hj) Post #: 5
