Value Estimates - 8/5/2010 10:30:22 PM    slcholt   Posts: 109 Joined: 10/8/2003 Status: offline I have kept a little of everything but I'm not an expert anymore. Plus I'm too cheap and lazy to buy a book. So I'm wanting to use your expertise to give me a market value on a few. Give me the higher value please. I will include the photos and you can share your expertise. The first is 3 owls. Single wing. 2.5,3.5,4.5 inches Attachment (1) _____________________________ Check out our site and our collectors! http://www.utahcollectors.com Post #: 1

RE: Value Estimates - 8/6/2010 7:35:08 AM    Poison_Us   Posts: 2795 Joined: 5/27/2009 From: Savannah, Ga. Status: offline You have a very nice set here. I will break it down in each with historical values.  Today's, with the economy, will be around 60% of it. The KT-1s (Owls).  As mentioned, they will always be collectible. All are 1 wing, so they are the early issues. I'm curious about the 2.5"  I think it should be a 2 3/4 as there is no 2.5 listed.  There is a 2 1/4 in 2 wing which is kinda rare.  You may have a short 2 3/4 or unlisted size.  Anyway, 2 3/5 - 5" sizes range from $75 - $175.  You can break it up evenly between yours as seems right. The green KI-10s are very common and are English.  $5-15 depending on who wants it. Cobalt KR-6b (not as desirable as it's brother the KR-6 that has HK MULFORD embossed on the front)  about $50 Amber KI-3 (the only American flatback) About $175 Amber KT-5  $175 Cobalt KS-9  $125 or so.  Hard to find with the topper.  Ours is missing the cork attached to the stem. English Lysol bottle.. KJ of some number, dont have enuf info to ID it properly.  But are common  $5-10 KC-1  If this is 5.5" without stopper, it's the 8 oz size.  Not enough info to price this as there are several different embossed bases which affects the price which is between $80 - $400.  Let me know what is embossed on the base for a more accurate price. Lastly, is this square or rectangular.  Rectangular is a KR-9. (closest size I have listed is 5 1/4)  $75. If it's square, you have a real gem.  KS-5. Closest size I have listed is 4 7/8.  Estimated price is around $1000 as the six sizes range from 2 1/2 to 9 1/4 and are priced from $300 - $2500.  So I did a little math to get an estimate. Hope this helps. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah. Be a friend.

RE: Value Estimates - 8/7/2010 8:46:51 AM    slcholt   Posts: 109 Joined: 10/8/2003 Status: offline Thank you! The little owl was 2-3/4" Cobalt KR-6b has mulford on the bottom. KC-1 - no embossing on the bottom. KR-9 alas....just a rectangle. I have a few of the small ones to go with it. One last one I missed. It's a bit different....

Status: offline OMG, you are a lucky dog with this one.. this is a KR-14.  Very rare.  We have 1 example...was one of my wife's Christmas presents along with a 5 1/4 cobalt KT-2.  Anyway, I'm guessing it's about 3 inches tall?  You can get a rough estimate on it's value from this... There are 11 sizes from 1 3/4 to 6 5/8.  Prices are $300 - $2000 (larger being more valuable)  Depending on its exact size will state it's value. Congrats on this one! Your KC-1s historical high value with plain base is $150. Of course, all values are pre-recession and are on undamaged examples. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Status: offline Oh, and don't be disappointed about the KR-9.  I think they are one of the most wonderful and affordable of all poisons.  There are many different sizes and 2 colors (clear issues as well), with the bold embossing of the text and hobnails...they present so well.  And all cleaned up will create a wonderful set to display. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

RE: Value Estimates - 8/9/2010 10:14:34 PM    slcholt   Posts: 109 Joined: 10/8/2003 Status: offline This is all much better than I expected. Books tend to value high but still it's good news. The KR 14 is 2.5" So I'll bring out theKV-1's. I don't see anything special about them. But you are right about the color variations and different flaws in all. The large one is 4.5 " and the others are the 3.5 and 2.5 styles. None are damaged and I can shine them up new in my tumbler.

RE: Value Estimates - 8/10/2010 7:07:01 PM    Poison_Us   Posts: 2795 Joined: 5/27/2009 From: Savannah, Ga. Status: offline Yes, the book give historical high values...sometimes it gives you a range, but gives you an idea what they have sold for in the past....at least once.  Sometimes them bidding wars can skew the average.  A bit of non-parabolic math, give's me a price of $640 on your KR-14.  But I think it's more like $450-$500.  I don't have a 2.5" listed, but I do have a 2 5/8...which is in position 3 in the list of sizes.   Came up with a linear scale of subtracting the low price from the high price (as to start at 0) which is $1700.  Devided by how may levels there are (10 from the start) which gives a incriment of $170.  Times that by 2 (2 levels up from base) plus the starting price of $300, give me the price I came up with.  But I know it's not right as the smaller sizes raise slightly in these cases and curve up drastically when you get closer to the top. So the range I gave you is probably more realistic, but still a dang good keeper. < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 8/10/2010 7:16:42 PM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.
