The lip looks too thick for Zaneville or the like and the pontil doesn't look right, if it is in fact a pontil that was refired. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

Thats how ya learn! I'll be joining the local bottle club soon so hopefully I can learn more than what I can from just books alone. Thanks again, Keith (in reply to kor) Post #: 6

It's also a nice looking window bottle, so for a few bucks I think you did well. Sean (in reply to kor) Post #: 7
