    The Iron Pontil

    The iron pontil was considered an improvement over the glass-tipped blowpipe or solid rod pontils, but was soon abandoned for the much quicker snap, which produced an even cleaner bottle. Most modern blown glass doesn't lend itself to the use of snaps, usually because of the decorative, many...

    show us your food bottles

    I couldn't agree more. It amazes me what people throw away that their parents, grandparents, etc. treasured, with no thought whatsoever towards finding out, "Hey, could this be worth something?". I could give several heartbreaking examples, but your illustration tells me that you already get...

    Photos of all know Long Island Pontiled Bottles

    It appears to be iron pontiled, but did they not catalog or picture such damage as that? It would definitely be worth repairing, considering you'd be doing it yourself and wouldn't be out any money (except the cost of materials). My opinion would be tempered according to what you had to pay...
