I'm not a poison guy but when I saw this, I was amazed.  Not at the price but the beauty of it.  Possibly the coolest bottle I've ever seen. (in reply to cookie) Post #: 5

Figural "Poison" Bottle, America. 1890-1900. In the form of a coffin, golden amber, tooled round collared mouth - smooth base marked "Norwich 16A", ht. 7 1/2 inches. K#KU18    Extremely rare, perfect poison. One of the most difficult and most desirable poisons to acquire.   A friend of mine dug one of these a few years back and sold it at Hecklers auction for $12,000 _____________________________ Woody (in reply to ncbred) Post #: 6

WOULD LOVE TO SEE A PICTURE OF THE COFFIN POISON! I used to get a ENGLISH bottle magazine and I read the best poison there was a colbalt coffin,can't remember its worth,but seems like at the time there was only maybe 2 known? NOT SURE ABOUT THAT ,but it was very rare. _____________________________ I know You've got mountains that you think you cannot climb Your skies are dark You think the sun won't shine Case you don't know The WORD OF GOD is true!

A cobalt Iodine with Skull & Crossbones. Next time, my digging partner found a plain blue poison, next time we both "got" poison (not much, luckily) and the last time, when he said we were going to dig a Poison today, I dug an Amber POISON POISON (Just this past Monday, in fact.)

Thw cylinder poison with protruding scull and crossbones in cobalt!! very very rare. I have seen that bottle and know who owns it. The aqua variant of that same poison also unheard of he also has. A few of the KI irregulars ect . Don't get me wrong the scull rocks....i would love to have one.If i had to choose though between any i listed above the scull would lose. _____________________________ Always buying and trading poisons,stoneware and blobs.

Then I've heard other people say it's an English bottle, which I doubt.
