Poison Bottle Addiction

Thanks to all for your input/comments.
I did send in some detailed pic's of certain bottles for auction appraisal.
You all are spot on, in the black, in fact quite comfortably, but not a steal.

Top one:
"J.C. CODDING & CO"
$500 - $1000





BTW, The Melvin & Badger, a relatively common bottle compared to most of the selection, does contain label.

THANK YOU for the update. So many come here, ask questions, advice, values and then forget us. You have the courtesy to give us some feedback. I hope you are bitten badly by the bottle collecting bug and stick around and share your finds. We need a Poison specialist here.

Another update:

I'll be selling the Godding poison (at $150 opening bid, $300 to $600 estimate ), as well as the rest of the collection through Heckler Auctions, throughout the next months.
Many items, The Melvin and Badger's ( I bought another), 3 piece hex collection, the Godding, are going online for sure.
A lot of four labeled poisons, as well as another lot of 17 poison bottles (including the English ones not pictured with the collection), will be sold at one of the the barn live auctions.
Seven other poison I left with Mr. Heckler for research, as they are likely extremely rare. I'm thinking they will go online.
