Hi all, went to the enfield show sunday and didnt find a thing. Then I went to a couple antique stores after and found a nice poison I believe.Embossed on the front is Hetherington and on the bottom is CL&G Co. I believe it is 1oz and is 31/2 inches tall. Anyone know what it might be worth and how rare or common it is? Thanks everyone, Kevin

Nice bottle, I've got two of that type I can trade you for those sodas if you are serious about collecting poisons.

Oh, BTW your bottle looks to be a KI-2 which is listed as relatively common. Still the value is listed at $45+/- with a size varying from 1/2 oz to 32oz. (Chime in with a value on this size Stephen.)

The front panel on this bottle can be ribbed like the front side panels or embossed with the druggists name like yours.

Nice bottle!!!! congrats on the find!!!!

Hi Longhunter thanks for the info. I found it on someones website and it lists the Hetherington as very scarce to rare. So I am very confused on this one. I think I may just list it on the bay tonite and see what happens. Thanks again, Kevin
