They could just be vent marks or strength marks like on the bottom of snuff bottles. < Message edited by capsoda -- 2/20/2006 3:18:40 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to ahatfield) Post #: 2

While raised dots are often a characteristic of poison bottles, the Wheaton Ball and Claw is actually a reproduction of a classic bitters bottle. The Wheaton bottles come in some very nice colors, and they are very collectible. I have two of the Ball and Claw bottles in blue, and I have also seen them in green, red, yellow and purple.
