Hey All! Just checking to see how your Christmas Exchange went. I sent my partner a bottle and it is now January 16th…nothing received on my end. I was trying to be super understanding, but really?! A month later and nothing. My bottle plus shipping was almost $30. Guess I won't be...
Looking for….family dairy
My family had a dairy from the early 1900s to approx. 1930. It was located in Dixon, CA and was called the Dutra Dairy. If anyone comes across anything from this diary, I would love to purchase it. Unfortunately, my family does not have any artifacts from the family...
I have a cobalt 3 3/8" KC-1, but very faintly (and crudely) on the shoulder the word poison is embossed. Is this a more valuable variant? I don't see many KC-1s with this embossing and my poison bottle workbook does not mention anything about this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Mike
Hey All. Picked up these two new poisons and I am having trouble "id"ing them. In my Rudy Kuhn workbook, the BOLIC DISINFECTANT is KC-68, although, my ribbing is a bit different and the word SANO is embossed above the BOLIC. Is this the KC-68 but a variant? The other bottle is embossed PURO...
I am curious as to why sellers think it is ok to charge buyers 8, 9, 12, even $15 to ship tiny poison bottles. I mean, come on. I am a seller too and a little bubble wrap and a small box does the trick. Shipping for a couple ounce poison bottle should be like $4. I am reluctant to buy some...
Hey All! I am headed to Roseville, CA this weekend for The 49er Historical Bottle Association 36th Annual Show and Sale. I have never been to a bottle show and I am STOKED. I will have my Rudy Kuhn Poison Bottle Workbook with me and a backpack full of bubble wrap. There are a few poisons on...
I "typically" only collect poisons, but I am making an exception these days for any bottle that I can find that is embossed Santa Cruz, CA. I think it is really special to collect bottles that come from where you live. Sometimes you learn something new and sometimes you are reminded of the old...
Another aqua codd I picked up at a flew market. It is embossed with FILLINGHAM GRANTHAM on the front, and the back lower portion is embossed with "PATENT SAFE GROOVE 4 SOLE MAKERS DAN RYLANDS BARNSLEY". It has a pretty crude application of the lip with lots of seeds.
Greetings all. I went to a flea market recently and picked up a nice aqua coddle bottle. It is embossed with "Buckley's Brewery Limited", "LLANELLY" and "Trade" (The Brewery Logo) "Mark". The base has a cool script "B". Any ideas as to where this bottle is from and the value? Thanks!

Hey All! I am new to the hobby and looking to add common poisons to my collection. Not much money, but I'd like to get a good run of the common poisons in all colors. I really like the 1890's aqua English stuff...ok, check that, I like them ALL! HAHA another collecting addiction, just what I...
