is this a poison or a remake? - 4/9/2011 12:39:20 PM    sandrajoan22   Posts: 44 Joined: 3/28/2011 From: Northern IL Status: offline I was given this one by my cousin... It is in really nice shape and I don't know anything about poison bottles yet... I think it says "WTH" or "WIH" on the face under the skull to the left. I couldn't get a good picture of the bottom though.  Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Status: offline It's a Wheaton.  Not worth much of nothing as they were made for collecting purposes only.  They made a whole line of poison repos in miniature in different shapes and colors, along with other types of bottles.  They are all over ebay every day.  They are cute, but have no historical value at all. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

I saw a blue one sell for 50 bucks a while back (boggled my mind), and after checking the completed listings just now it seems that every single one has sold for over 20 bucks a piece. 20-40 bucks isn't bad for a little modern bottle. I've passed them up for 50 cents each. Now a 50 cent bottle is "Not worth much of nothing" but for some silly reason, these bottles are actually worth picking up if you can get them cheap or free. _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.

Status: offline There are collectors of Wheatons, and they are the ones who will bring the price up.  Trying to find that odd color they don't had and such.  There is even a club or 2 for Wheatons.   _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.
