My rarest poison bottle - 6/30/2010 10:31:01 PM    texasdigger Posts: 647 Joined: 1/6/2006 From: Roanoke Texas Status: offline I am not a poison collector, but I do love this bottle.  It is very rare, but sadly damaged.  I want to get the top replaced, but I do not know anyone that does that type of work. It has a very nice color, and is a cool shape.  I am told they also came in a larger size.  Thanks for looking!

Status: offline Besides the photo in the book, this is the first KR-56 I have seen.  Ya, it's rare... $700 rare if undamaged.  It's one of the few American poisons that have "Not To Be Taken" on them.  A shame it's broke... _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

RE: My rarest poison bottle - 7/1/2010 10:35:51 AM    texasdigger Posts: 647 Joined: 1/6/2006 From: Roanoke Texas Status: offline Does the book list 2 sizes?  I was told the other is about 6".  It could have the top replaces easily.  I am a glass worker, and have considered doing it myself.  Just have not got around to it.  I saw a whole one sell for 1100.00 a couple years ago.  When I get it repaired I will post another pick of it.  I paid 4.00 for it so there is no way I could have passes it up!

Status: offline At the time of the publishing of the book, the only size listed is 3 3/4".  Jerry might be able to fill in more if there is other sizes.  Doesn't surprise me that one sold for more than the book price.  Before the economy took a dump, rare bottles gained in price.  You got a superb deal, even broken. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

BURGHEIM PHARMACIST poison bottle is known too exist in only two sizes. It has been found in 3 3/4 and 5 1/4 inch sizes. The APBCA  poison bottle book only lists the 3 3/4 inch size. I have a 5 1/4 inch size in my collection.
