    My smallest bottle I've ever found

    It is one of the most common American poison bottles out there, but to me, EVERY poison bottle, especially the small ones, are valuable as a collector's item. I have three and I treasure them. They come in various sizes. Some have embossing on one panel and some have embossing on two panels...

    Fresh out of the dirt, but what is it?

    One time I saw a photo of an old ink bottle (I collect them) that looked like that. It was held upright in a wire holder that went around near the bottom.

    Calling all poison pundits!!!

    That is a very cool bottle, all right! I love the cobalt poisons, but only buy the smallest ones. Most of my poison bottles come from ebay, but it is so weird when it comes to selling prices. One bottle I saw sold for $140. (I didn't bid because I already have 4 of them) and then a couple...

    I like the Larkin ink, too. I got one on ebay last year, with a ground-glass stopper, but it would be much cooler to actually dig one up!

    Indian Club soda

    My sister gave me a couple of old soda bottles that were discovered in a basement. One says "Cola Root Beer" and has what looks like a woman's profile with an Indian chief's headdress, the words "Indian Club Cola Root Beer" and the soda had been bottled by the Cola Root Beer Bottling Co. in my...
