Re: Original Bottle With Label "POISON"

Hello, my husband and I are bottle collectors with my husband digging up each and every bottle in the odest of towns Savnnah, Ga and St. Mary's, GA. This is a poison bottle of the 1800's. If it is a true poison" bottle, it will have a number of bumps made into the glass all along the edges of the bottle. The bottle is probably worth $13.00.
