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!!!

HI, I am no expert, but if you go to Antique Bottle Collector's Haven web site , there is a list of common antique bottles. At the end of the list there is a statement which reads " any bottle with " WHEATON " on the base is a reproduction. "
