I got this nice poison bottle yesterday, and I am curious about the rarity, value, and origin. I don't collect poisons, so I don't know much about this one. It's a dark aqua color (almost green in the sunlight), about 6 1/2 inches tall, and oval shaped. On the front, it is covered with ridges, and a smooth space down the middle where it is embossed weakly "Not to be taken". Right above the ridges, it says "Poisonous". The back side is completely unembossed, probably for a label. The base is unembossed. Thanks for any information.

It looks like a UK ammonia or something. I couldn't give you a Kuhn number or value but I think they're pretty common.

Your bottle is classified as a KO-35. It is known too exist in the colors aqua, green, olive green and cobalt. It is known too exist it the sizes 5 3/4, 6 1/2, 8 1/2 and 11 inches tall. It is a relatively common English (United Kingdom) bottle. It probably contained AMMONIA . On a good day it may sell for $20. I hope this information is helpful to you.
