What's This Worth, Roughly? - 2/23/2007 1:16:50 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2009 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    I found this poison in the "Motherload Yard" in October and can't figure out what it's worth. Can someone give me an idea as to it's value please. It's an early smooth base BIM poison. It has the word "POISON" embossed on the neck horizontally just above the shoulder. I think the pictures show the name and city and state pretty well but if anyone has any questions as the exact embossing just ask. Oh well, I guess i'll tell you what's on it. It's embossed in block letters, "PREPARED BY / PROFESSOR E.H.CRANE / KALAMAZOO MICH." on one side and "EXCELSIOR / PRESERVATIVE" on the other.

I'm not really up to date on embalming bottles, but if I remember correctly, the Dr. Crane is a pretty good one. I'll try to find out some more for you. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 4
