Large (16oz.) J.F.Hartz Poison

passthebottle · Jan 29, 2009

Hi Everyone
Besides obviously being Canadian, does anybody know anything about this rather large (8 inches tall) poison. As you can see it's embossed with "hearts" on three sides with the back side being plain. Besides the lip chips it's in good condition. Thanks in advance ..PTB.

Very cool bottle.

That is a great bottle. Quite scarce and very desirable. Even with the lip chips, it's a keeper. ~Jim

Getting a good picture of the embossing is more difficult than I anticipated, must be the cobalt color.

The J.F. Hartz Co., Ltd. was established in Toronto in the late 1890s and stayed in business for several decades. It was a medical supply company and had three basic sizes of these kinds of bottles: 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz. Colours include cobalt, amber, and clear. All variants of these bottles have the large, central heart embossing, but only the cobalt ones seem to come with the "jacket" of smaller hearts. The company has no connection to the Hartz petcare products company.

It's a KS-15. The book says it's very rare, but I have seen these pop up now and then and the book is not always right. I know my wife would love to have one. I can't say how much it's worth as I can't recall how much the others went for and the book is way off on the price.. I know I haven't seen one lately. untill I look of course...this guy is WAY out of line..
