Some have blue coffin pills or pills with skulls on them,some have small spoons and other weird things in them.some are dirty some are really clean .

I sold a few at local store but dont want to make a mistake like my frind said I may be doing..Ifound this poison bottle site on google...THANK YOU.

Your bottles are real, there were never reproductions of those exact bottles. I would estimate that you have approximately $500-600 worth of bottles, some of which are scarce. Very nice display! ~Jim

I wouldn't do any business with that antique dealer!!!

Status: offline 		Ebay is the best place to find a lot of poison bottles. They don't appear very often at the antique stores from what I have seen (and I look a lot). The amber skull and bones iodines are about $15-20 for the square ones and $50-75 for the oval ones. The cobalt blue rectangular ones are $50-75.

The green poison is an English one. I can't tell from the picture, but if it has "Taylor's Liverpool" on the bottom and round dots on the sides, add another $100 to the figure I gave you. If it's not a Taylor's, it's $10-20.

Tony and Warren, thanks for the good words . I try my best to help. Unfortunately, there are some vultures out there who like to try to steal good bottles . ~Jim

I for give but,have a problem getting over it ,especially when it is done by a friend and the friend says I must be mistaken as I never sold him that bottle! I let him have the bottle and he was going to pay me latter! I watched him take it out the door! HE had a point ,I never sold him the bottle since he stole it!

Status: offline 		what a fascinating collection! Good Luck replacing the bottles. Have a yard sale to fix your car and hold to that collection.That's an investment that will increase with value.  and always get a few different opinions on the value.
