Winter Blues (and Greens!) - 2/2/2007 10:45:27 PM    Jim Posts: 2433 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: online Aah, Winter in Pennsylvania....Snow ...Ice...Ground-freezing cold. Looks like I won't be doing much digging in the near future, so I did a small photo shoot for fun. These are some different configurations of some of my favorites. This is my partial (but getting close to full) set of KI-1 cobalt poisons: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 16-oz. I need a 1/2 and an 8 yet. There is also a 32, but only 2 or 3 are known to exist! ~Jim Attachment (1) _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm Post #: 1

RE: Winter Blues (and Greens!) - 2/2/2007 10:55:01 PM    Jim Posts: 2433 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: online Last pic. These are some larger proprietary KI-2s. Melvin & Badger 4-oz., Melvin & Badger 3-oz. and Hetherington 4-oz. I also have an 8-oz Melvin & Badger on the way. I was going to wait for it to arrive to do this pic, but the thought of no digging all weekend was driving me insane, and I had to do something bottle-related . Thanks for checking them out. ~Jim Attachment (1) _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Jim) Post #: 4

RE: Winter Blues (and Greens!) - 2/3/2007 8:10:12 AM    bearswede Posts: 2910 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Hey, Cindy... I'll let Jim be the last word on that... But I would guess it's Poison Bottle Workbook by Rudy Kuhn...

RE: Winter Blues (and Greens!) - 2/3/2007 12:48:43 PM    Jim Posts: 2433 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: online Thanks for the good words. Spencer, great website man! Ron, I have to agree with you, bud...The druggist-embossed poisons are sweet! I wish they were a little easier to find, but the challenge adds to the fun . Cindy, The Kuhn books that Ron mentioned are the most complete poison bottle reference out there. The APBCA Poison Bottle Workbook is also excellent, but is strictly for American poisons. It has full-color pictures for each bottle. Mike, I hope you strike it rich in Knoxville! You are lucky to have TWO local store-embossed poisons: "Kuhlman's Cut-Rate Drug Stores/Knoxville, Tenn." (cobalt KI-1) and "Economy" (green KI-2). I hope you find ten of each! Just remember your old buddy Jim when you do . ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to madman) Post #: 10

RE: Winter Blues (and Greens!) - 2/3/2007 4:32:36 PM    trussin   Posts: 156 Joined: 5/5/2005 Status: offline Jim I didnt forget you.  Almost everything I own is in storage for a move.  I'll forward the poison then.  Glad to see the level of bottles. When I promised you'd be happy with what I send I didnt mention why. Its because I try to collect only perfect bottles. I get at least half from GWA.  Thanks again for everything.

RE: Winter Blues (and Greens!) - 2/3/2007 9:08:22 PM    Jim Posts: 2433 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: online Thanks, Brian. I hope to be able to add a new name or two to my druggist poisons soon. There are 28 different names known, and I am sure there are more that have not been discovered yet. There are some that have just been discovered in the last decade, and unlisted sizes for particular names turn up regularly. There are still a lot of blanks in the size chart, and I know that more of those unlisted bottles must exist! ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to BRIAN S.)
