You have a very rare poison bottle that appears to be in mint condition. Very few of these large-size DP coffins are known to exist. My book lists it at $12000 to $15000, and in mint condition, it could very well bring that in a good bottle auction. Personally, I would keep it....But if you would want to sell it, I would go through a good bottle auction company like Pacific or Heckler. I would NOT recommend eBay for a bottle of this caliber. Unfortunately, there are a few on eBay who like to play games and try to steal things out of greed  eBay is great for a $5 bottle, even a $500 bottle, but not this one. Congratulations on a killer find. These bottles were never reproduced, so you can be sure that it is a good one.

They are quite rare, and would make a sweet addition to any collection. Glad to hear that you're getting back into bottles!
