Paris Pontiled Bottle - 8/27/2008 6:27:32 PM    diggincajun Posts: 193 Joined: 8/8/2007 Status: offline Hello all, check out this Pontiled bottle I dug. It reads HOUBICANT-CHARDIN (in circular pattern), PARIS, ET, LONDRES. Stands 4-1/2" nice circular pontil scar does have a chip on lip. Anyone that can tell me anything about it I would appreciate it.

RE: Paris Pontiled Bottle - 8/27/2008 7:40:43 PM    diggincajun Posts: 193 Joined: 8/8/2007 Status: offline Thanks, that's what I thought it was also. I dug this in New Orleans about 2 years ago. I thought it was a great find since it's a French Area to find a Paris bottle. Probably was brought over by immagrants. (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 4

They have ground and polished pontil marks but are made later than pontils were typically made. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to diggincajun) Post #: 5

RE: Paris Pontiled Bottle - 8/28/2008 7:20:42 AM    diggincajun Posts: 193 Joined: 8/8/2007 Status: offline This was definetly in the pontil era. I had taken 5 pontilled bottles out that hole, only 1 embossed, the rest were 1-unembossed peppersauce, 2 unembossed meds, 1-unembossed whiskey, and this one. Here is a pic of the bottles I took out. Thanks all for the info. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Kim James Brunet diggincajun (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 7
