A buddy of mine recently dug this poison in a dump we have been working on for a while. Not the first cobalt coffin to come out, and hopefully not the last!

The thing with this particular one, is neither of us have seen this varient with the large "POISON" written overtop of the "stars" on the right side panel.

It is the 2oz size, and marked with B.F.G Co(Beaver Flint Glass Co) on the bottom.

Is this a rarer varient than normal?

Any info is appreciated.

Great bottle. I don't know much about poisons but it must be exciting to find something u never saw before.

Kyle: B.F.G. Co. poisons are not that common, though 8-ouncers and 6-ouncers regularly show up every now and again. My experience with the 2-ouncers is that the ones without "POISON" embossed on the side are more common than the 2-ouncers with just the hobnails. However, all B.F.G. Co. poisons with the panel embossing are much more attractive, in my opinion. I especially like the way the points in each letter line up with the hobnails. This is a credit to the mould maker.

The only actualy crack is the one near the bottom, and ya, it is bad. The other line that looks like a crack that goes through the middle of the bottle up up into the lip is just a fold in the glass.
