3 Wheaton Bitters Bottles

By osprey112897, 12 August, 2009
Description

I have a Doctor Fisch's Bitters bottle, shaped like a fish, light green marked Wheaton NJ on the bottom. It also says millville New Jersey on the side opposite the Dr. Fisch

I also have a blue ball and claw bitters bottle, about 10" high, also marked wheaton NJ. It says "Ball and Claw bitters. World's Best Rememdy. Indian Drug Specialty Company. St. Louis and Indianapollis."

And finally, I have a blue Berring's Apple bitters bottle, also about 10". The Apple bitters bottle is square, it says Berring's Bitters. Apples are embossed on 3 of the 4 sides. The top is marked PHILa.

All three are marked wheaton NJ, and all three are in excellent condition. All three have the same hallmark. I know they aren't original bitters bottles but I'm getting conflicting info about the Wheaton glass company. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 3 Wheaton Bitters Bottles

I have the same apple bottle except mine has Nuline, NJ on the bottom instead of Wheaton. I am interested in finding out more about this bottle also. I hope someone can give us some insight. :/
