Need Help Jim! Crazy blue poison ive never seen - 8/29/2006 12:59:26 AM    bottlediger Posts: 1451 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline Hey Jim, I know you know your stuff on poisons. Heres one I just dug but I have never seen it, and its not in any of my bottle books. Its a screw top cobalt blue stands 2 1/4 inches tall, and it has 6 sides! Hope its not a crappy common one. But it sure does look neat for being a screw top. Thanks for any help Post #: 1

That is a KU-14, sometimes called the "star jar". They came both with and without POISON embossed. The one you have should be worth about $50 if it cleans up nicely. You don't see them very often. One of my favorite screw-cap poisons. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 7

What's the name of that Poison book again? I gotta keep an eye out for it. KU something must mean the author?. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. (in reply to Jim) Post #: 8

Crazy blue poison ive never seen - 8/29/2006 6:01:02 PM    Jim Posts: 2396 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: online Eric, The Poison Bottle Workbooks by Rudy Kuhn are where the K numbers come from. KC for cylinders, KU for unusual shapes, etc. The American Poison Bottle Collectors Association has a great book on American poisons. All are listed by Kuhn number and illustrated. It's well worth its $50 price. You can find it on the web, along with the Kuhn books. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 9

I found it recently by the river where I live. I live in Fredericton, New Brunswick (Canada). It would be really cool if I found myself a rare and highly collectable bottle.
