I've had these poisons for a while and was hoping some of you know could provide me with an estimated rarity/value for each. I know these are killer bottles, but I'm just not familiar with TC bottles to know their values. The Owl is about 6" and the Bowman's is about 7.5" Thanks.

Poison collectors always seem to have deep pockets. Put them up on ebay. The square Owls are less often seen than the well-known triangular Owl poisons. The Bowman's being 7 inches tall would bring a good price, might want to rinse the dirt off though before putting it up for auction.

I've heard as much as $400 for the Owl and $1000 for the Bowmans. These prices seem high to me so hopefully an avid poision collector sees this thread and corrects us.

Hey Andrew,
The Bowmans is tough in that size and in attic mint condition would be in the $650- $850 range. All stained up but otherwise problem free would be less. The Owl is not very hard to find, and while there are "fuzzy face" "two wing" "fat lips" "club foot" variants of Owls, those sized examples typically run $150- $300 if mint.

I have sold both "as dug" sizes of the larger Bowmans for around $500-550, and the bigger sized square "Hooters" for more, especially the "Hippy" or "Freak Bros" version, a slightly older one than yours is, Andrew. Both are highly collectable and excellent finds
