Hello everyone, Here is a pic of some of my best open pontil bottles. I really like the scroll flasks. One is an open pontil, and the other is an iron pontil. Anyone else love pontil bottle?

What's not to love about pontiled bottles? They were made back when a hot bottle in process needed a handle on it to finish the neck. I got my first interest in the early medical puff bottles, and then that went into the ones that had vertical panels on them to help the user hang on to them. I even have some demijohns with blow pipe open tube pontils on them. The punty rod pontils are also great. I am still working on a blog of pontil marks, but I have a problem with time availability.

You have a very nice group of bottles in that picture. The Scroll Flasks are really cool. Many years ago, I came across a small surface dump in the woods behind an old farm. The only glass found in that small dump was a large amount of Aqua pontil-marked Scroll Flasks. Of course, every one of them had been pulverized, but I found at least 9 or 10 pontil-marked bases of these flasks. No other glass of any type was found in that little dump site.
I've always wondered why someone had taken a group of these bottles and thrown them out a few hundred yards out in the middle of nowhere. The farm was a cattle farm for many, many years. It was probably the cows that had completely smashed all of the flasks.

Anyone else got any Pontil's they want to share pics of?

LT, I hate to post the same stuff all over again, but mine are scattered about in the "Pontils Only" section.
