German Green Poison Bottle?

[bloodj2]

Not mine, but what's this bottle? Someone (who knows maybe somebody here) has this posted up on the local craigslist for $50. It's pretty neat whatever it is. []

It didn't sell for him/her on Ebay at $29.99, here are more in this form and different colors...

With the different colors and all it makes me wonder if this isn't the made by the German equivalent of Wheaton...

We have not gotten into the German and Swiss bottles as of yet, though I would love to. There are almost as many variations as there are English bottles...ok, maybe not that many, but there are plenty.

Anyway, this is a KH-16. I dont know if I can trust the book much more than the ID, but it says they come in Olive and light green. 5" and 6" sizes. Their may be other colors by now known since the book was published. The book has it as Rare, but I'm sure I have seen enough for sale that it's probably on the scarce side rather than rare. If it didn't sell at $30, well, there gives you a feel of what people are willing to pay.
