I agree, it looks suspicious but what makes you think fantasy?
I've never seen a Sasquatch or alien but I know they're out there.

The one has poison in English German and Italian on it (poison gift veleno).
Its definately a late piece based on the bottom markings.
Looks like a decorator item to me but couldnt say for sure.

The pontil one looks pretty fake to me. Weird color, weird lip, poorly made mold. Doesnt really match the pontil mark.
just my non-poison-collecting opinion of course.

I think they may be German. They have the german looking skulls.

Looking around that first one could be a 20th century poison from somewhere is europe, germany , italy, swiss...not sure what country.
The pontil one still seems suspect.

We Krauts do have very distinctive craniums.[][]

This same bottle, or one from the same mold, was sold a few months ago. It's patterned after the KC-1, but they added some artistic license to it. It is of poor molding craftsmanship...and the alien face looking skull has been used on genuine bottles before, look at any KS-12. But this is a new bottle, nothing more than a conversation piece, marketed as old to fool the uninformed.

The same makers made a poison scroll flask. Now that was even more far fetched than this one. But as long as a fool is soon separated from his money, they will continue to pop up on feebay.
