New and need help

[thetater]

Went out to the antique stores today and took some photos. These are some of the ones I am thinking about. Any info would be great. I'm hoping some people can help give a general price as I don't want to end up paying way more then I should. Sorry for the photos taken from my phone.

ok, good to know. I thought it was after I had been looking around online after I posted it. So is it made around the 70's or sometime around there?

As a general rule, if it says Wheaton, it's a late rep or novelty bottle and aint worth much. Now, Wheaton as a glass company has been around a long time and there are nice bottles out there from them. But the makers marks on the base will read T.C.W. & Co. (pre 1900) or T.C.W. Co. (post 1900). More can be read about that here:
