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. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to kor) Post #: 5

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
