Antique Poison Apothecary Bottle Questions! - 5/12/2006 7:06:34 PM    alicia9265   Posts: 16 Joined: 5/12/2006 Status: offline Hi everyone! I just found this brown poison bottle at a consignment shop for a few bucks.  I did some research and found a bottle that looks the exact same but that one has a label - mine doesn't. :(    That's why I think it's a poison bottle.  The one with the label is on eBay and at the moment is $50 bucks.   Mine has "PAT APR 1 1889" and "WT CO" on the bottom. Does anyone think I could get an okay amount of money for it on eBay although it doesn't have the label?  Any input would help! Thanks! Alicia Attachment (1) Post #: 1

CO stands for Whitall-Tatum & Co. This company was situated in Millville NJ and in buisiness from around 1857 to 1935. Do you have the stopper to go with your bottle? It might raise the value a bit. The bottle on eBay may be a label under glass version which is much more collectable than the unlabeled pieces. Kev (in reply to alicia9265) Post #: 2

It's really interesting!! I might just put it on eBay and see how it goes.... ??  Not sure yet! Alicia  (in reply to alicia9265) Post #: 3
