    Cobalt Poison Bottle ID

    Yours is a KU-18, also a lovely bottle. Comes in several colors and sizes. You look to have the big one which is extra special. I’m blessed with the same one

    It's Quilted!

    It’s definitely not a poison. Most likely perfume as everyone else is leaning towards. Being the size and shape, could be designed for travel and not the usual square bottles for the home. I see it had a paper label or at least a spot for one in the front. Cool find as I’ve never seen one before.

    Strange Poison Bottle

    Indeed a KD-1. I don’t have any details written on this than what I have. Probably the same as the one you have here. Definitely more rare than the KV-1

    Cobalt Poison Bottle ID

    Indeed a KR-6b. I can’t recall the value but it’s a lovely scarce bottle

    Poison bottle won't stand upright

    Very common KV-1. Though you could make an entire collection out of the different sizes and variations. Some actually do have value. I posted a chart here years ago on this bottle. May still be located somewhere

    My First Poison (Bought)

    This is a very common British poison. Many used this basic hex bottle with any number of rib designs, embossing and colors. The 2 usually is the ounces it contains, but the size of this says otherwise.. would take some book digging to see if I can ID it

    Tonopah pick up

    The KC-1 on the right is a great bottle. There are so many sizes and colors documented along with makers marks on the base. I only have 1 or 2 in my collection. Always loved this bottle

    Blue poison 1st find

    This is a KS-2. From my site: These came in 4 sizes: 3 1/4, 4 1/2, 5 & 7 3/4” The sizes larger than 3 1/4 are very rare. They come in Clear, amber, cornflower, cobalt and Moss. There are no 3 1/4” in Moss known. Always a beautiful find

    The Most Expensive Poison Bottle

    Absolutely beautiful . I haven’t picked up anything new in years. More of a passive collector ATM.

    McCormick and Co, more info please

    The McCormick bottle is a KT-14. Common in cobalt. Rare in cornflower. Known sizes are 2 3/4 & 3 3/4”. There has been debates on if the Laudanum it contains was really considered a poison back in the day, but caution was advised. Last time I spoke with Jerry, there was still no clear cut answer...

    My first poison!

    This is a KR-43. Sizes range from 1/2 oz to 32oz. Very common in Cobalt. Rare in amber , teal and clear. (Though there is some question that the clear even exists) $10. The amber bottle is one of my favorite affordable poisons. KR-9. $15

    Wellcome Chemical !

    I don’t think so. Not all chemical bottles were in “poison” bottles (by definition). But that locking top of that first bottle is most unique. A keeper for that alone.

    Little Poison W/Applicator

    Interesting bottle. I can’t say it’s considered a Poison. Besides the faceted shape, does it have any embossing?

    Labeled poison/skull and crossbones object

    The bottle is a KT-9. Most common in 3 1/4”, but there are 4” & 5” which are scarce. Can have Triloids, Trilets or Poison on the embossed sides. $10-15
