wheaton poison bottle - 11/15/2003 11:41:06 PM    kdsuzy   Posts: 2 Joined: 11/15/2003 Status: offline Hello guys, I have a quick question. I was at an antique show today in Fredricksburg, Texas and ran accross a bottle that looked very much like a 2 1/4 inch wheaton poison bottle. It was coffin shaped with a skull and crossbones on one side and R.I.P. "use with caution" on the other. However it had a slightly taller and narrower neck than the wheaton replicas and it was a light light yellow-clear hue. Is this just another replica or could it be something better? I can't find one like it anywhere to compare. Can anyone help me? Thanks!!! Post #: 1

At the end of the list there is a statement which reads " any bottle with " WHEATON " on the base is a reproduction. " (in reply to kdsuzy) Post #: 2
