Wheaton Glass
A Little History on Wheaton Bottles
Wheaton Glass Company in Millville, New Jersey began their consumer division in 1965 under the name of Wheaton/Nuline. The division was renamed WheatonProducts in 1973.
In 1967 Wheaton/Nuline made reproductions of old American bottles. So that these reproductions would not be confused with the originals, the bottles were made in different colors and were marked 'W', 'Nuline' or 'Wheaton, N.J.' In addition to reproduction bottles, Wheaton Glass also produced Commemorative Decanters of Presidents, American Writers, Inventors, Astronauts, Military Leaders, Patriots and others. These were produced in limited editions. The production of these reproduction bottles and commemorative decanters was discontinued between 1974 and 1975.
