Perrine's apple ginger bitters bottle - 12/31/2004 3:24:40 PM    BARQS19   Posts: 433 Joined: 6/4/2004 From: Brooklyn, Mississippi Status: offline I'm sorry but my camera is out of commission for the time being but here is a link to one like it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=890&item=6141994107&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW This doesn't look like a wheaton bottle because it is very crude and there is no name on the bottom which is also very crude. I have a wheaton like it but the name is different and it says Wheaton on the bottom and looks like it was made recently (which it was.) Was this made by someone else? If so who and when? What is it worth? Thanks, Robert barqs19 Post #: 1

I wouldn't hazard a bid without seeing the base. I hope your's is genuine! _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to BARQS19) Post #: 2

There were two amber ones on ebay that went for around $300 I saw a 7up green one like this for $50, the woman said it was fake but couldn't tell me who made it. Mine is more of a deep olive color. I can't find it in any of the books, not even the amber ones. Kovel mentions it on their website but that's about it. Robert barqs19 (in reply to BARQS19) Post #: 3

There are 2 weatons on the 1st. page, 5 on the 2nd. And one more on the 3rd. All ARE titled Weaton or repro. But these are the only 19th century bottles I saw. Be Careful! I wonder if embossing can be ground and then polished out with a dremmel tool? best of luck! _____________________________ Life is a Ditch. (in reply to BARQS19) Post #: 4

Check the seam in the neck of yours. If you look closely I'd bet the line runs into the lip. If it does is a reproduction. I sold a cobalt version of this bottle, same as yours and the link about a year ago for $30 I've seen a few originals of this and the lip has always been a tapered applied.

Mine the line stops at the mouth. The mouth is one seperate piece. So far the only evidence I've seen of the originals are all amber and the fakes are obviously other colors (the 7up green and you mentioned the cobalt blue version) I just looked at the ones that sold around $300 and their mouths are just like yours. I'm assuming since no one has bid on this guys and mine has a wider mouth like the fakes then it is a fake. I would still like to know who why this one was done so well. It is very crude, the bottom, the molding, air bubbles, etc. Robert BARQS19 (in reply to BARQS19) Post #: 6
