In 1969 the first Presidential bottle was issued
with John F. Kennedy on it. JFK was followed
by series honoring many of our presidents.
Each of the presidential decanters were issued
in a limited quantity with accurate images of the
presidents. On the reverse side of these canteen
shaped bottles was a quotation or slogan in which
related to the Chief Executive. Different colors
were used on several of the bottles.

Production of the Presidential and Christmas series
were continued under the "Wheaton" name by Millville
Art Glass Company, starting in 1976.

In 1996 the Wheaton Glass Company was sold and
renamed "Lawson - Mardon - Wheaton".

I used to collect miniature wheaton bottles back in the early 1980's. I think your bottle would date about that time. Very collectable. I'm sure you will have no problem pricing on ebay.
