COMPANY INFORMATION
Whitall Tatum produced very large quantities of bottles and fruit jars throughout much of the mid-and late 19th century. Pharmacy, druggist, barber, perfume, chemical, and other types of bottles in various colors and styles were produced, and some of them are now avidly sought by antique bottle collectors. W-T is especially well-known for the production of tremendous quantities of personalized prescription bottles, blown for hundreds (if not thousands!!) of local druggists/pharmacies across the country, Embossed with their names and addresses using interchangeable slug plates inserted into the mold. Most of those types of druggist bottles marked “W.T. & Co.” on the base generally date from approximately 1875 to around 1901, and are most frequently found in good-quality clear (colorless) glass. After the firm name was changed to “Whitall Tatum Company” in 1901, the marking on bottle molds was changed slightly to “W.T.CO.” That marking is estimated to have been in use from about 1901 to approximately 1924.

CONDITION GRADING LEVELS (These Grading terms were taken from a reliable website source )
ROUGH a bottle that looks like it was used as a skateboard wheel can be considered "rough". Other terms are "poor", "bad", "worn", etc... A bottle that is in rough shape is not a likely candidate for cleaning, as cleaning will not help it, due to significant ground wear or case wear, pitting, scaling, scratches and similar problems. Any damage such or cracks or chips should still be noted.
FAIR a bottle in fair condition will have wear and/or stain and/or scratches, but may be worth cleaning. There will be considerable remaining wear and/or scratches if the bottle is lightly cleaned. If the bottle has already been cleaned, this should be mentioned, as a bottle in fair condition that has already been cleaned is not a likely candidate for further cleaning. Any damage such or cracks or chips should be noted.
GOOD a bottle in Good condition is your average condition bottle, and it may have some stain, light scratches and light use wear. It is a good candidate for cleaning (if desired) and will have NO damage in the form of chips or cracks. After cleaning, the bottle may improve considerably, but still may have some remaining stain, wear or scratches. If already cleaned, this must be mentioned, along with any remaining condition issues.
VERY GOOD a bottle with some scratches, Light to Medium case wear, Some wear inside and out. Bubbles, May have some minor nicks. May have minor chip or flaw.
ABOUT PERFECT - this is a bottle which has few if any condition flaws, though it may have minor stain and/or wear and/or light scratching. It can be a very good candidate for cleaning (if desired) as a light cleaning may render it Perfect. If already cleaned, it must be mentioned. There can be NO damage.
PERFECT a perfect condition bottle is nearly as good as it gets. It is not a likely candidate for cleaning, as there is really no point. There will be NO damage or condition issues of note. A perfect bottle, upon very close inspection can have traces of very minor wear, scuffs or scratches - consistent with light use and age, but none of these are apparent or distracting with the naked eye under normal lighting.
MINT a Mint bottle is the finest possible example, and is unprovable. Often referred to as an "attic" bottle or "attic mint". Mint bottles are usually not dug, except in rare cases. A Mint Bottle is a perfect 10. The word MINT should be used sparingly when describing a bottle as MINT bottles represent maybe 1% of all investment quality antique bottles available on the open market at any given time.
