That could be a few things, Sounds like a KV-1. Did it have a round back or was it truly an equilateral triangular? Check out our site to see if something there matches what you saw.

nothing on your site resembles it . it is a true triangle . the diamond ridges on the edges are what really caught my eye . guess i gotta keep looking . thanks sam

 

[athometoo]

did a little more searching , and its a kt-8 . thanks again and thats a cool website ya got . sam

The KT-8 did come to mind, but you said it has POISON on 2 sides... the KT-8 has it only on 1 side. I'm gunna browse the books a bit to see if there could be another candidate.

No luck. There are less than 30 KT bottles and none of them match your description. Either it has POISON on one side (KT-8), or it's Cobalt (KT-9).

HERES THE SIDE VIEW . hopefully it will be different though . thanks again for the help . the edges are called sawtooth , never seen those before .

Yup. I took a 2nd look into our books. There is a variant that has POISON on 2 sides..so yes, it's a KT-8.
There are 5 different variations of this bottle. Most common being embossed on 1 side, POISON from bottom-up ( The kind we got). I have seen different bottles described of having "sawtooth" edges and non of them look the same. Reason being is that the texture is made from a scalloping of the edges rather than protrusions. Most bottles have the latter. The bottle is common, but it's still a nice looking one.
