At an antique store today was a poison bottle. It stood about one inch high, said POISON on the sides, and was a hand-tooled flared lip, amber, and had some ridges on the edges I believe-- can't recall where exactly, but as usual it had ridges. Why I'm asking is that it is so small, but they wanted what I think is too much for it. I don't recall if the base was embossed, but I'm wondering if it's worth picking up when I get some extra cash? I don't see it online.

Did it look like this? Are you sure it was only 1" tall? that sounds freakishly short for a poison.

It is rectangular and smaller than that-- I have that one. [:D]
I myself thought it was interesting, and it remains that way in my mind as of yet.

If it is a KR-9, it's worth about 5 - 10. Base can be blank or have PD Co and a number. If it's square, it's a KS-5, and would be a score. But the small KR-9 is only a fraction of an inch out of square so have a tape measure. KR-9 image attached

I think it's the KR-9, but I can go back and check. What is a KS-5 valued at in that condition of the pictured one?
