Does Each State have a Pontil

[madpaddla]

Hello all:
One of the recent thoughts while digging was just that question.
Does each state have a pontil?
Just a guess but AK and HI prob not but how about the west coast, IA, KS etc? ?

Ohio has quite a few, and made some for other states as well.

Thanks Ton Loc and JG:
Does anyone know about the harder to find states?

Many states werent formed until after the civil war so there are definately states without embossed pontil bottles.
For example there were pontil Wheeling VA bottles, would you count those as VA or WVA?

 

[madpaddla]

Either is fine so it would be that both have pontil bottles. How about Colo, Ariz, ARk, KS, IA, Utah, etc.

Colorado wasnt a state until around 1876 so its doubtful you would find any pontilled bottles embossed "Colorado". If you did find pontil marked bottles from those western states they would likely be marked with thier earlier territorial names or just the towns.

There is only one from North Carolina that I am familar of. I may be wrong but I think its only one.

WVa has some, but I dont have any. They usually run high $$$$
