I had a friend in the store today who dug a 7 1/2" tall amber Norwich coffin poison bottle.
I wish I had my camera so that I could have taken a picture of it before he sells it.
He has been offered $5,000.00 US for it by a leading Poison collector.
I guess it is so rare that it has only been reported but not seen by many Poison bottle collectors.
It has the raised diamonds on the glass, typical of Norwich Poisons, and it is embossed Poison on the front and the back. Rolled lip, circa 1880-1900.
It is also embossed Norwich on the bottom of the bottle.
He's only been digging for 3 months.
Go figure!!!
He wants to sell it but is hesitant about getting the maximum dollar amount for it.
I told him that whatever he gets from it will be pure profit, other than the time you put into finding it.
I'll keep you updated to see what he finally gets for it.
