Status: offline Welcome to the forum.  From what it sounds like, you have a Wheaton novelty bottle.  No regular poisons would have R.I.P. on it.  Sorry to say, it isn't worth anything except to those who collect these particular bottles. I'm sure it looks like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-YELLOW-WHEATON-COFFIN-POISON-RIP-MINI-BOTTLE-/300453405470?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 Wheaton made a whole bunch of small reproduction bottles.  They were just nick knack bottles to collect.  Didn't have any real purpose.  Some books to look into if you want to start collecting poisons would by Kuhn's workbooks (I, II) and the APBCA poison workbook . Click on the link for the APBCA on my sig.  It will lead you where you need to go. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.
