Ricin Bottle - 1/3/2006 12:45:50 AM    KentOhio   Posts: 730 Joined: 9/13/2004 Status: offline Hi, I have a bottle that I've never been able to find anything on. It's emerald green, and an 1880's-1890's oval druggist-type bottle. It's embossed in a slug plate, The Rob't Nesbit Ricin Co. Philada. I know ricin is one of the most deadly poisons. There aren't any bumps or lines to make it an obvious poison bottle. It looks like a medicine. Anyone know anything about it? Post #: 1

They usually sell pretty well. Pure refined ricin is very deadly but I doubt this stuff was that refined. It may have been a concentrate for making castor oil. http://waynesword.palomar.edu/plmar99.htm#elixir _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to KentOhio) Post #: 2
