Here is a little six sided poison with SB embossed on the bottom. Could that be a sales bottle, if so, would it have more value?

Why is that? Too many being sold from UK. I see them everywhere. I usually don't buy them as shipping is outrageous and there seems to be many more than I can keep up with.

So the SB embossing would be Salesman Bottle and worth a bit more?

The SB is likely a manufacturer's mark. The bottle was probably for something that was meant to be used in very small amounts. I have seen some very tiny English poison bottles. ~Jim

The best way to tell the difference is to see as many of each type as you can. The English bottles have a "look" of their own that is unlike most American poisons. Vertical ribs, POISONOUS, NOT TO BE TAKEN, hexagonal or larger oval shape, etc. are all characteristics of many English bottles. ~Jim

i had close to 125 english poisons including the mid size sub and the amber carbolic also a rarer poison and bunches of variants of hexs and ovals.the markets flooded with the more available stuff.so price fell off sharply 1 1/2 - 2trs ago.i moved alot of mine at shows and sold the sub and carbolic.i still have probablly 55 60 english poisons if youre interested i will make you up a lot of them in colors...reasonable...there are also some very rare and valuable english poisons that command 100s up to 1000s of dollars.wedge in saratoga green ect.
