any value to these poisons? - 2/26/2006 9:21:34 AM    annie44 Posts: 1138 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline I don't have a poison reference book, and was wondering if these have any value. On both the seam stops at the neck. The large bottle says only "poison", and the six-sided bottle says "not to be taken." I know that a lot of the "not to be taken" bottles are common, but this one seemed older to me. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

They aren't really rare, but they sell all the time on eBay. The big round one is one that I don't see very often. Unfortunately, my book only covers American poisons, so this is only a guess but I would say $5-10 for the six-sided one and $10-20 for the round one. I hope this helps.

Your blue one is American, the skull and bones ones are German and the others are English. The German skull and bones bottles are worth some money-check them out on eBay. The clear English poison is different, I don't see many of those in clear. Nice poisons, thanks for sharing.
