Got my email, and it looks like a hot topic in the poison thread...so headed on over.. [&:]
What you have Janette is a KT-1 (as us poison collectors identify with) It's a 2 wing issue, meaning it was the later bottles before this design was stopped. The 1 wing ( body sits sideways on the right of the mortar) are the earlier design bottles. But the 2 wing design had a shorter production life, so they are less common. But any rate, most of them regardless of that are worth the same in their sizes. Being around 4 3/4...it looks...could be worth around $150 or so. Our books are packed right now as we are in the middle of moving. But between $100 and $150 is a good estimate. Their small variants to these designs if you want to get down to really collecting these bottles, but I dont have that list in front of me. A history of the company can be read below.

Its a nice bottle, from personal experience id price it at $60-$80 based on the condition (small details, minute chips / cracks)
I know that seems low, but its from experience as I have bought and sold multiple owls ranging from 3-5 inches tall
Heres a link from my nyc website with my nyc poisons, and a partial group shot of poisons at the top of the page.

I have about 50 different poisons right now ranging from the 1880s to the 1920s not on the site from other locations besides nyc
