Smallest Poison I have ever seen - 1/19/2009 3:56:21 PM    BRichardson5   Posts: 434 Joined: 8/29/2003 From: Pacific Northwest Status: offline I need help from you poison guru's! I dug this tiny little amber poison yesterday. I know that these guys are common in the standard sizes, but what about this size? It is diamond-shaped, reads poison on two of the sides, hobnails on the edges, pretty standard stuff. But it stands only 1.25 inches tall. Applied lip, etc. So do i have a good one here? i will work on getting a better picture, this was just a spur of the moment thing. Its not cleaned yet either. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I use this indian head as a coaster.. wanna see the smallest can of beer ever? Yours is very cool! I like the little bottles, too.. they seem to have a higher survival rate in the dumps. I'd like to see the smallest bottle on the forum.. mine is probably a Humphrey's vial. < Message edited by cyberdigger -- 1/19/2009 5:44:47 PM > (in reply to BRichardson5) Post #: 4

RE: Smallest Poison I have ever seen - 1/19/2009 9:14:52 PM    RED Matthews Posts: 2396 Joined: 8/2/2008 Status: offline BRichardson5 & cyberdigger;  I am interested in the details of the lettering engraved on this little bottle.  Was it a bottom hinged mold?  Whenever lettering gets that close to the shoulder it has to be relieved for a side hinged mold.  I was interested in the mold seams routing.  Nice little bottle.  I have three 30" bottles here by my computer.  It would be the talk subject at a bottle show - to have them side by side.  Nice glass samples.  Thanks  RED Matthews < Message edited by RED Matthews -- 1/19/2009 9:16:42 PM > _____________________________ http://www.bottlemysteries.com/welcome/ (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 8

Not hinge mold, and you can see raised dots on the base. Vent marks? Pic is still a little blurry, the 200 kb limit on this site restricts finer photography.

RE: Smallest Poison I have ever seen - 1/20/2009 10:37:40 AM    RED Matthews Posts: 2396 Joined: 8/2/2008 Status: offline HI; And thanks.  The top of the N no doubt needed some release angle to let the mold open.  The diamond shape also helped.   The  6 would have been a mold number maybe. The dot by it is a vent opening.  They are both nice bottles.  RED Matthews _____________________________ http://www.bottlemysteries.com/welcome/ (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 13

If you search that on the forum you'll find a bit of info. Thats an awfully small one though. The 2 inch to about 4 inch sizes are common and sell for aroun $10 but one that small might be good. Wait for Jim to come around He'll be able to help _____________________________ Looking for any Fond du Lac bottle. Also looking for any embossed wisconsin medicines.

RE: Smallest Poison I have ever seen - 1/21/2009 7:44:37 PM    Jim Posts: 3634 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline I believe that is an unlisted size for the KD-1. It would likely do quite well at auction with poison collectors, but it's hard to put a value on unlisted sizes and variants. Great find for sure!  ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 16
