I can't find any records of Cobalt Poison.

This thing is impossible to find! I dug it in a dump from the mid to late 1800's from what seemed like a very poor house. Anyone have one?

 

[SeanColvin]

My other pictures don't work but I can also tell you that this is rectangular, not square (from top) and I have seen square ones before.

One more thing, for those who have poor sight, It reads:
POISON
TINCT
IODINE

I'm still learning, so I can't tell you anything. However I sure do like it! Did you find any other poisons on that dig?

It's a KR-3. Came in 2 sizes...2 & 3 inch.
Cobalt is the most common color, but it came in 3 other ext. rare colors... Cornflower, Clear and Amber.

Hey Poison, you say cobalt is common? I've come across several amber specimens but never a cobalt! If the cobalt is listed for $100, what would an amber be worth?

Cobalt KR-3 it's really common, it's just the most prevalent color for this bottle. You say you have seen 2 amber ones? Are you sure your not confusing the KS-12 with this one? Most obvious difference is the shape, rectangular vs. square.If it's truly a KR-3 (rectangular) in amber, it's worth about $800 in excellent condition (historical high).

AHA! My mistake - I have seen square, not rectangular. Thanks for clarifying this for me - that's why I'm here, to learn. So, learn me somethin else here. I've just recently decided to focus my collecting on poisons and have been watching the following Owl Drug Co. poison:

Any suggestion on how far I should go with this, understanding that I really like it and am trying to expand my collection?
