poison bottle query - Rare Flask - 7/24/2004 10:49:15 AM    brynbar   Posts: 9 Joined: 7/24/2004 Status: offline Greetings.... I have a very old poison flask, similar to the one sold in the Blaske Sale (147 or 149), but without the cow. I have been informed it is most likely Pitkin (or maybe Coventry), as pieces were found at one of the locations. Does anybody have any info on this piece ? probably 4 ounces - hobnails throughout - flared lip - pontiled. Brynbar (in reply to rexmiller) Post #: 3

Though I haven't looked carefully, I can't find any bottles in that catalog with a cow. Are you sure you mean the Blaske sale? Sean (in reply to brynbar) Post #: 5

RE: poison bottles - 10/23/2005 12:02:07 PM    Jim Posts: 2294 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline The 2 1/4" Owl is the smallest in the series. It is also a scarce size, worth $150-$200 if in good shape. It is a two-wing owl variety. Jim (in reply to rexmiller) Post #: 14

RE: poison bottles - 10/23/2005 12:12:04 PM    Jim Posts: 2294 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Rex, that is a sweet little flask! I love the color. I don't have anything that early in my poison collection yet. King, could you post a picture of your Owl? After I read your description again, that sounds like a one-winger. The two-wings are only embossed on two sides, and the 2 1/4" is only listed in two-wing. Could be a new discovery?? Thanks. Jim (in reply to rexmiller) Post #: 15

RE: poison bottles - 10/23/2005 6:02:33 PM    kingtynk   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/23/2005 Status: offline Thankyou very much for the info. I was thinking about buying this bottle but when I looked more into it I realized It had A chip on the lip of it. I used to have the 6 1/2" owl poison until someone decided they needed it more than me. Thankyou (in reply to rexmiller) Post #: 17

RE: poison bottles - 10/24/2005 5:25:09 PM    Jim Posts: 2294 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Ouch. Sorry to hear about that. Anyone who would steal a bottle like that from me would be wise to hide it AND himself, very far away, somewhere with no chance that I would EVER be able to find him! I see a lot of Owls with chipped up lips. Although still very collectible, a damaged one would only be worth a fraction of what a good one is worth. Still, I have seen lightly damaged smaller Owls on eBay bring 20, 30, even 40-50 bucks! This is a bottle that even non-poison collectors seem to enjoy. Good luck in finding one to replace yours. I wish I had an extra of any size, I would offer you a really good deal. Jim (in reply to rexmiller) Post #: 18
