On "the bay". Is this right? I've never that I can recall seen a cobalt iron pontiled bottle. Is there any risk this is an altered aqua master/utility?

If you exclude the obvious sodas and minerals and beers... Oh My, I'd say there much less common in other forms but not unheard of.
Is it possible? Maybe a heat stain but that pontil looks like it shows some good iron on the surface to me. It is hard to tell for sure from pictures.

I think we can trust Mark's description considering the bottles he owns...[8D]

Oh cool. One of the people on here has it. I didn't stop to think about all the cobalt pontiled sodas before I posted. There certainly plenty of those. Cobalt utility/inks are rare to begin with, and then to find one with iron pontil... It just gave me pause for a moment.
