not mine btw, I saw this on the SouthEast Bottle Club web page. The article was a few years old and this poison brought + $2500 on ebay then.

I'm not a poison guy but when I saw this, I was amazed. Not at the price but the beauty of it. Possibly the coolest bottle I've ever seen.

I think the Norwich Poison bottle in a coffin shape commands a bigger price and is more scarce than the figural skull.

Figural "Poison" Bottle, America. 1890-1900. In the form of a coffin, golden amber, tooled round collared mouth - smooth base marked "Norwich 16A", ht. 7 1/2 inches.
K#KU18 Extremely rare, perfect poison. One of the most difficult and most desirable poisons to acquire.

A friend of mine dug one of these a few years back and sold it at Hecklers auction for $12,000

GOOD INFO WOODY! WOULD LOVE TO SEE A PICTURE OF THE COFFIN POISON! I used to get a ENGLISH bottle magazine and I read the best poison there was a colbalt coffin,can't remember its worth,but seems like at the time there was only maybe 2 known? NOT SURE ABOUT THAT ,but it was very rare.

Wow; ..great skull poison, very cool looking. I am trying to dig a skull myself; ...one of the 13(5 have been found, 3 dissapeared, 2 still available) crystal skulls made of quartz that might have been made by aliens and contain endless amounts of knowledge, ....some day.......

We went digging for a "Crystal Skull" and that was the day I found my first nice poison. A cobalt Iodine with Skull & Crossbones. Next time, my digging partner found a plain blue poison, next time we both "got" poison (not much, luckily[]) and the last time, when he said we were going to dig a Poison today, I dug an Amber POISON POISON (Just this past Monday, in fact.)

I am with Woody on this one for sure,one of the most popular poisons but as a rule see 5-8 a year at sale somewheres.The moss green large lattice (KC-1),the cobalt Large size Lattice with huge poison embossed on label area. Thw cylinder poison with protruding scull and crossbones in cobalt!! very very rare. I have seen that bottle and know who owns it. The aqua variant of that same poison also unheard of he also has. A few of the KI irregulars ect . Don't get me wrong the scull rocks....i would love to have one.If i had to choose though between any i listed above the scull would lose.
