Three weeks ago I purchased, at auction, approximately 1/3 of a Poison Bottle collection previously unknown to mainstream bottle collectors. .
I thought I paid way too much for what I ended up with, but liked the bottles none the less.
I've owned dozens of historical flasks, but never a good poison.
Until now. Now I'm hooked.
After just a little research, I'm thinking it was $1200 dollars well spent.
If you want any close-ups of any part of any bottle, feel free to ask.
(this pic contains only what I believe to be American poisons. I also scored a half dozen cool British poisons, to be discussed later.
Any input on history, and value appreciated.
Thanks - Ron
