American Turquoise Glass Flask

Is what I have the same as this:

or a reproduction?

Mine is about 7 3/4" tall. Chip to the lips that would hurt the value if the real deal.
Also, there are some black spots on the inside. Do you think they can be cleaned?
Thanks

 

This looks like a Wheaton N.J. bottle - 1970s

 

Who was the maker of the one from the link?

 

Hi Kard - can't tell about the black spots - could be just left over debris or ash trapped in the glass. If ash, it's a manufacturer's defect and won't come out. Might want to use a bottle brush and some mild dishwashing liquid and see if it has any effect.

No idea who made the original, but Wheaton reproduced any number of these embossed bottles in the late 1960s-early '70s, and I don't think they were the only company doing so. Just search eBay. I remember buying some of these as gifts back then. I thought they were cool. Still do, but "cool" and "worth anything" are two disconnected notions.

I think that circle on the bottom is meant as a faux pontil scar.

Wheaton bottles are frequently, but not always, marked.

 

I don't think that this is a pontil but mold mark. I know there are lot of reproductions but I'd like to know what are the features on the bottle that makes it a replica by Wheaton or other company?

 

The appearance of the bottom is a big thing. The lack of crispness in the molding is another.

 

can you help me find the same reproduced bottle online?

 

My Dad had a collection of these and they were 1970s. Some were amber or green. He had one with Washington, etc. Widely sold. On the other hand, 1970 is nearly an antique now.

There's a Wheaton club you could ask.

Don't forget, these bottles were also reproduced in China for sale at Home Goods and other décor shops. From my limited experience with bottles (not my type of collectible) the glass does not look old.

 

Here’s one on green:

And another one in purple:

And one with a worked mouth in teal:

None of these are marked, so they may be a maker other than Wheaton. I see Clevenger and Empire as other makers of this type of imitation.\

This computer is so slow, I missed Skeezik's and other posts while putting this one together.

 

Thanks to all. Great info.

 

Some of us forget that the stuff we think of as "new" has gotten OLD right along with us. Now my 40ish kids are shocked that some of their childhood things are collectible.
