    My New Poison Bottles...

    Thanks. It's interesting, I came across cool bottles, some of which I now have in my collection - now the last two weeks it seems like there are not alot of interesting auctions - just some commons being sold, and listings you see daily. I WILL keep it going.It truly is addicting.

    New to bottle collecting - my Poisons

    It's called Suttons on the top.I just liked how it looked and it had rust inside, and a cork, so I knew I could brighten it up - it was cheap. I got the cork out, but made a mistake. I soaked, then shook. Didn't realize that the cork in this case was hard as a rock and scuffed up some of the...

    Water spots on inside of bottle

    Hi I have a Vapo Cresolene bottle in aqua, and it's beautiful, but never dries right. In the sun, out, and always upside down drying. The neck is narrow and wide square bottle. Then I see water spots. Any advice? Nick

    Fun part about poison collecting for a new collector

    Hi there I have been collecting some bottles for myself, and it's quite fun. I will put up another post with the bottles I have gotten, and for hrlp confirming a couple of IDs. I find it fun when someone doesn't have a code number or type listed for the bottles they are auctioning. I...

    Could someone look at these bottles for me before I buy?

    LOL Look at what that cannabis listing I mentioned above went for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Lilly-Cannabis-Bottle-/321218807416?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=FT6NvCVIYq2HlV1OY6YgS9w6lus%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc I wouldn't have paid close to that...

    Lighted shelves?

    I guess something like this: But not tacky. I picture more of a display case, but this is nice too.

    Lighted shelves?

    Has anyone done this? I'm picturing white light lit from the bottom of the bottle display. I just got my first bottle of my collection in, and put an led flashlight under it tonight, and I think it would be beautiful. Thoughts? Any pics of nice lighted displays? Nick

    Laudanum, with label - real?

    LOL @ patterson. Luckily, I am more attracted to the cure all labeled bottles, and the colored glass poisons. I'm going to pass on this one. Thanks for the advice. Nick

    Laudanum, with label - real?

    Hi there - could someone check this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/331036530372 I looked up the druggist on the bottle and tried finding another, couldn't tell. I understand the labels are easier faked than a blue embossed bottle with no label. If it looks real, could it be valued at...

    Could someone look at these bottles for me before I buy?

    Thanks everyone, those are great suggestions. I'm in barrage mode trying to learn. I am trying to stick with listings that I can find comparable products previously sold. Some items are very unique and especially if I can't find comparable examples, won't gamble on them at this point. I...

    Could someone look at these bottles for me before I buy?

    *also, what is most important, in order, when bottle searching.. Glass damage No/work cork/top Stained/missing labels How does the importance rank? I love clean labels and would sacrifice a chipped lip, but how does my thought stack up to a collector's thoughts?

    Could someone look at these bottles for me before I buy?

    New guy here - excited to collect bottles, just need some steering

    Unless I'm looking in the wrong spot, I didn't see a scams and fraud section...? Unfortunately, at this point I am working off of online listings, so whatever pictures they have, I would share those. Most have the picture types you listed. Great, 1am, and I am looking up how to dig for...
