Looks much like 2nd from left cept the crazy pontil.
Still kinda confused on this one as I think many are.
LOVE to have the book but can't see almost $100 for a book :/
Paid $60 for my Jar price guide thats what I'm mostly into.
I like to switch tween bottles and Jars now and then.

I do understand your preferences -- I've got a lot of jars myself.
I looked at a few of my case bottles with the disk lip, and I have at least two with blow-pipe ("open") pontil scars. My examples are broken off nearly flush with the bottle base. I think your bottle scar represents an error by the gaffer, and that makes it more interesting.
You can own my extra Van den Bossche book for $65.00 plus shipping. PM me if you are interested.

It stands but square base is all weird and miss shaped....dent in side of bottle...... it's quite crude for sure!

If you don't have the book, ANTIQUE GLASS BOTTLES, Their History and Evolution (1500 - 1850), I have an extra (still in the publisher's wrapping) to sell you. Check it out on Amazon books.

I might just take you up on that if thats the one for $65.
Message me cuz I dunno how to do it here.
Forgive my slowness..... "Round To It List" loudly calls with all this pandemic down time.
