The Wheaton would have to be looked up.  Will have to check the actual patent to see when it was granted.  If it was an early patent, no it was never produced and Wheaton took it to make their "collectibles" as it probably expired/never made. I have never seen the Bone one in that form...just Jerry's and it is a bit different that the patent drawing.  But who knows. Good digging, Cows...I always enjoy Dickman's articles. < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 4/28/2011 6:12:21 AM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

They've been around a while and it would be interesting if they actually owned the patent from the beginning. Imagine some clerical worker pulling it out 70's years later and saying, "Hey, let's add this to the new series". _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to deacon_frost) Post #: 7

RE: ever produced? - 4/30/2011 7:11:13 AM    Poison_Us Posts: 2956 Joined: 5/27/2009 From: Savannah, Ga. Status: offline Well, according to the image Decon put up, that was granted in 1890.  Now Wheaton has been around since 1888 (founded date), but they made legitimate bottles back then.  Wasn't until the Grandson took over that we got these "collectibles"  That is a very good possibility...need to find that entire patent page to know. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

RE: ever produced? - 4/30/2011 7:18:07 AM    Poison_Us Posts: 2956 Joined: 5/27/2009 From: Savannah, Ga. Status: offline Well, that wasnt hard.... Patened Sept. 9th, 1890 by Charles P. Booth, who I think designed several, the name sounds familiar. http://www.google.com/patents?id=PGoEAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA1&dq=coffin++bottle&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q=coffin%20%20bottle&f=false Now, he did live in NJ area...  need some more snooping to find out who he worked for back then. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Status: offline I think I ran into each of these on the Google Patent search...and only the suspected Wheaton is the only one that was ever produced.  Non were made historically.  And there were some killer designs, may have been too expensive to make, or impossible at the time, or nobody bought into them.  Wish they did though, they are unique. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

They'd be great pieces for sure. _____________________________ Looking for all Sea Isle City, NJ bottles!! (in reply to Poison_Us) Post #: 12

RE: ever produced? - 5/1/2011 9:03:10 AM    swizzle Posts: 3596 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline They may very well have made a few in a test run and noticed that it was a poor design or to easy to tip over and break. I would love to find something like that, even if it was just a few shards. Maybe they did make them and we diggers just keep tossing them over our shoulders with the rest of the bones. lol. I'd be happy to dig the figural skull. Swiz (in reply to kwalker) Post #: 13
