Found my first triangle poison while kayaking and it is a beauty and BIM...

Also curious if anyone knows the ID number and value/rarity of this bottle?

Base says 67 F and the height is a little less than 4 inches. Also "Poison" is only embossed on the left.

Thanks,
PlaneDiggerCam

It is a -K V 1. Guessing value $10- $20
Couple I have, one has poison one side,other has poison on both sides,and has label and contents.
Think the man who numbered and catalogued poison bottles was Rudy Kuhn(sp?). First letter always K for Kuhn, second letter was shape of bottle bottom. D would be diamond,t triangle,o oval etc. Numbers were different sizes of same type.
Don't have Rudy's book but on my wish list. Nice find.
