Does anyone one else have an open pontil Wistars? This one is spelled Wister's. I was wondering if they all where misspelled then or if its an uncommon error? The other 2 pictured are smooth base versions. I dont have another O.P. to compare too.

Never seen one with with that error. Probably handled more than a dozen over the years.
Always liked those pontiled ones, yours maybe an exceptional one.

Edit: the O.P. is actually ½" shorter than the smooth base.
Everything else seems to be the exact same other than the Wistars. Knock off would be interesting.

Rip off, interesting idea. By the quantity of Wistars that are still around, it would be financially (at the time) to maybe duplicate with a successful product.
It seems like a hassle, but I think we've seen some of that through the years with successful products.
However, how many have we seen of this one? That would make a fake worth more $ or the fact if its real, an error would be worth more and interesting to have in one's collection.
Either way, looks like you might have something special.
