Vapo-Cresolene Co Aqua poison bottle

LillyPie · Jul 16, 2016

In searching the internet I have found countless referenced bottles but they are all very small, perhaps 4" or less. The one I have had for decades is approximately 8 1/4" and looks as if purchased just today. I do not recall how I obtained this bottle, whether I dug it up or purchased it. I tend to think the later as it is in such good condition. Is this bottle a rarity? Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

A pic is worth a thousand words, kind of sounds like a repo. Welcome to the forums!

There is a large size vapo Cresolene bottle, not sure if it as big as 8 inches but definitely over 6 inches in height, kinda rare but still not worth very much

Thank you for responding. I know this is not a reproduction. Most of my bottle collection was acquired many years ago so I do have what best can be described as more than elementary knowledge of antique bottles but probably far less than you or any other contributors of these threads. Any help, even guesses are greatly appreciated.

Looks old and not a repo. Nice bottle, I know nothing about value.

I tried to find the one I saw on Flea bay awhile ago but no luck, it was at least 6 inches high and maybe as big as yours, maybe worth 10 bucks for a poison collector, maybe a bit more, as I have never seen one other than pics.........Andy

I've seen these bottles in three sizes, this being the largest. My son has the two smaller sizes, but the largest is more difficult to find.

I would love to have the burner they burned the Vapo-Cresolene in. Nice bottle. I have one.

The burners are for sale quite often on Flea-bay, and go for reasonable prices....Andy

So Lily Pie, it is at least fairly rare, and I am not real sure of the price I quoted, there is an online organization known as the American poison bottle collectors association, somebody there might know, we have a member here on the forums who is quite knowledgable on poison bottles, maybe he will rescue us....Andy
