RICIN is actually a very deadly poison. There is a larger version of that bottle that is more common but they can still sell for about $40-50 in good condition. (in reply to dirtyknees) Post #: 2

I expect this was a less concentrated mixture. May have been used as pest poison. (in reply to dirtyknees) Post #: 4

Can be produced using typical kitchen equipment... Suspected of having been tested by Al Qaeda and on the to-do list of several U.S. supremacist groups... Nice bottle...

Although the pests of the past were alot bigger. My dad used to bait Muskrats & Fox. Ranchers and farmers baited wolf,coyote,cougar,grizzly,nosey neighbors, etc. Nice rare bottle. Great color. _____________________________ Life is a Ditch. (in reply to dirtyknees) Post #: 6

I have a RICIN too, but a different company made mine. Not sure on values I'd guess $20 to $50. Attachment (1) (in reply to dirtyknees) Post #: 7
