Is there a wheaton made of a Drakes Plantation bitters. - 9/3/2007 4:49:59 PM    jagee44   Posts: 279 Joined: 8/14/2007 From: North Carolina Status: offline I bought a Drakes plantation bitters bottle off of ebay.  I was wondering if Wheaton ever made a reproduction of the Drakes Plantation bitters.

Certainly not a Wheaton. However, I am not a collector of Drakes, or bitters in general. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable in this field will come along shortly.

Thanks. (in reply to Gunsmoke47) Post #: 3

That is money well spent.  Show us a pic when you can! Brian Schultz (Tennesee Hillbilly) is the most knowledgeable man I know on Drakes. If he reads this, great. If not, you might want to PM Him.  Kelley < Message edited by Gunsmoke47 -- 9/3/2007 6:17:09 PM > (in reply to jagee44) Post #: 4

But its kind of far out because people know what drakes go for, well most bottle collectors any way, it sure looks real from your pic, I have one but I don't collect drakes so I cant say 100%, you need to ask someone who knows what to look for.

With bottles any damage can make a huge difference in value.  < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 9/3/2007 8:10:46 PM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to jagee44) Post #: 9

There was never a repro produced of the Drake's Plantations. There were a few copy cat molds that looked very similar to a Drake's mold . But they are vintage also . Even with the crack ...... It is still a nice window bottle . And you can't beat the price . Sure beats the 100.00 + for a mint  6 logger in Amber .
