Any idea on the age and value of this poison bottle? Dug it up in a dump that isn't really that old, dates back to the 1890s or so I think. It says S&D 174 on the bottom and poison on both sides with a scull an crossbones with a star above and below it. If anyone can find something on it let me know THANKS!!

By the way it's listed as a KC-4 in the poison guide and dates 1905-15, the S&D is for Sharp & Dohme

A labeled example found in a poison book says it contained antiseptic tablets...

That is one unique bottle. Having the skull and cross bones and saying "poison" it is instantly more collectible. I agree, close to $100, I would love to find something like that sometime. One of the nicer poison bottles I have seen.
