I found this in a recycle bin full of crazy old bottles. Anyone have any info?

Welcome to the forum!! I suggest making sure that bin doesn't go to recycling quite yet. If that nice poison was in there, could be other good stuff. What else is in the bin???

I find them every so often in my area (Fort Wayne,In) They are a standard type that was sold and the buyer put his lable on it.

Thanks for posting the link. I think I have found a new hobby. The little blue bottle is a pharmacy/apothecary bottle as well. Maybe for poison too? Maybe not?

The blue one, a handsome little fellow, looks like a "local druggist" bottle.. which can bring a pretty penny in the right local shop.. what does the embossing say??

What you have is labeled as a KV-1. Common as poison bottles go. Usual price for most are $5 - $10. They come in several variations with the POISON embossed one side, the other or both. A more scarce version comes in clear. The larger the size the more they command in price, but the largest only go for about $75. The one you have I'm guessing is about 3", the most common size.

Thanks Poison_Us. I had no idea about poison bottles until I stumbled on this one. Becoming obsessed.
