Status: offline 		This is one of the most common poison bottles out there, next to the KV-1 and KO-5 (this is why it's so affordable)
It's a KH-26.  Comes in 2 sizes, 3 1/2 and 2 3/8 and came in Amber, Cornflower and Clear. (I have seen a clear, but it had a pharmacy embossed on it and not S&D as they usually do)
Now if yours is actually 4", add that to the size list.
Now, here's the rub... There are a few American bottles that are listed in Kuhn's books that are not in the American Poison Bottle book from the APBCA.  Reason being, there has not been any of these bottles that have been seen with any labels on them confirming that these were actually used to bottle poison.  the KH-27 and the KV-6 fall in this list as well (along with some flasks I believe).  The belief is they were originally added because of their shape alone which is not a guarantee of it's use in this case.
I have seen a KV-6 in store shelf condition and it was a med, not a poison.  In fact, it's on ebay right now:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220344216753&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

So, the KH-26 and 27 are in the same boat.  Until a labeled bottle emerges saying it held poison, it has been placed in limbo in the poison bottle world.

But, in any case, they are cute and interesting bottles, none the less.  Everyone should have at least one in their collection.

Status: offline 		Post was "Medicine Bottles full " in General Chat about bottles (page 3) . Not sure but it appears to be small size ,i guess the(unlisted 4"? ) KH 26 is  still a mystery . Still don't see that 4'' often .

It's amazing how almost identical these two shots look....

These are the KH-27 bottles. They look similar to to the KH-26 but these have a bulbous shoulder on not the collar of the KH-26.

And yes, the Red Dragon is a great example that the same bottle form was used for other companies as well.  This is why the clear example I seen was of another pharmacy or company other than S&D.  I'm curious how many other companies had bottles made from this basic mold.
Thanks everyone for all the pics.  I will add the info here to our website.
