My first poison - 7/10/2008 10:15:43 PM    Hoosier49er   Posts: 65 Joined: 8/2/2005 Status: offline I posted this and another bottle on the pre 1900's forum. This poison has a burst top, "ribs" that go the length of the body on the front side only, and has a very crude neck. It is aqua in color. There is nothing on the back or bottom of the bottle. No pontil. The front says "POISONOUS". It stands 4.25" tall. I suspect it is English made, but really know nothing else about it. Can anyone tell me anything at all about it? Thanks in advance, Attachment (1) _____________________________ Joe Hoosier49er Post #: 1

If it were American it would have said Poison. I can't tell if it is a cylinder or an oval bottle. I believe it quite common. Maybe valued at $15-25. Good luck getting that.
