YELLOW IODINE - 5/29/2007 11:29:29 PM    bigd   Posts: 13 Joined: 7/27/2006 Status: offline I dug an iodine today it's 31/2 in tall and YELLOW and embossing stops at the shoulders. The embossing reads: BURNHAM SOLUBLE IODINE COMPANY is this a rare bottle? sorry no pics Post #: 1

They are not listed in the Kuhn books, but would technically be a poison bottle since they have the name of a poison (iodine) embossed on them. They are neat bottles, but unfortunately do not have much value, maybe five bucks. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to bigd) Post #: 2

Then another digger i showed noticed the embossing first. It looked like a good one too me but i'll trust your advice on it...kinda sucks i was hoping it was worth some $$$ (in reply to Jim) Post #: 3

The one you have is the most common and what would look like a common one, amber, is the rarest. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to bigd) Post #: 4
