Beware Poison / 8 oz. Base: FBH. Medicine Poison Irregular hexagon with two panels bearing 4 columns of 17 stars. Cobalt blue. 8 oz. 170 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Bottle has milky stain all over but there are really very few deeper marks. Just a few scratches scattered here and there. One scratch goes across lower left side panel which is a bit deeper. Inside has a little bit of haze and dirt. A few spots of rust on the lower part of the outside. This is a bottle that should tumble beautifully given the light nature of the stain, alternatively just a quick wipe over with a damp cloth makes it look great. A rare Australian poison, especially so in this large size (note the 4 oz. version sold in ABCR Auction 2 for $200). Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $300 - 400
