Dug my first poison

[Tony14]

I dug my first poison today. It is BIM with a tooled top. Any info on age or value?

Nice find, Tony. That is a KV-1 Eli Lilly poison. A BIM example would date around the turn of the century. They are common and worth about $5. Still, nice to find and something different that you won't dig every day. Jim

Just dug my second poison. Any ideas?

Nice job, Tony. That is a different variant of the KV-1. They came with POISON on the left, on the right and on both sides like the one you just found. There is also a clear one, which is scarce. They also come in various sizes, up to over 10" tall. The small amber ones are worth about the same amount regardless of type. The clear ones and the large amber ones are worth more. ~Jim
