Condition: This bottle has a somewhat dull, aged finish and a small flake of glass missing from the side of the lip. Otherwise it is in great condition, PLEASE see pic's for overall idea of bottle and label's appearance/condition.

Shipping: FREE domestic shipping. We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.

A nice looking antique poison bottle, note that label has the word POISON and a picture of a SKULL and cross-bones on it. Some of these bottles say "POISON" - "POISON" on them, on each of the sides, they are cataloged as KI-1 bottle. The KI-2, like this one, do NOT actually have the word "POISON" embossed on them. What is great about antique poison bottles is the unique shapes and forms and/or the unusual colors they come in. They often have fancy embossed pictures of the skull and crossbones motif and extraordinary embossed patterns (like this bottle is an unusual shape and it is fully embossed with horizontal 'warning' lines). These were all things to let a user know, by sight and feel, that this bottle contained something that was not to be consumed. About 20 years ago we were contacted by the descents of Dean, who still had some of the old drug store and jewelry stock in the building which was part of the old hotel/saloon that stands along the RR tracks in Forsyth. Among the bottles were just a few with the DEAN'S JEWELRY & DRUG STORE labels, one poison bottle, CHECK - IT - OUT!
