I have found a bitters bottle along the Powder River, Kaycee, WY. All I can find on the web about it is that it's been reproduced by Wheaton. So how do you tell if you've found a real, COL. SAMJOHNSON-PROPRIETOR-RICHMOND. VA.-18 52-ALANCASTERS- INDIANVEGETABLE-(J IS MADE BACKWARDS) JAUNDICEBITTLRS (I've spelled and spaced this just as it's on the bottle.), bottle? Or is there no such thing? Bottle is a purplish/pinkish brown. Stands 2 3/4 inches high. Round with twelve sides. Has seams all the up to the lip. A seam right under the lip. It's horribly canted to one side. Still has it's cork. Says "Made in Taiwan" on the bottom.

Greetings. If it is made in Taiwan, it is for sure not a Wheaton Wheaton repros are marked either Wheaton or one of their other marks.
