Hi everyone, great forum here! I mostly collect insulators but found this little 5" tall G.W. Merchant Lockport NY bottle in a local antique shop. I haven't seen very many pontiled bottles so don't really know what I'm looking at, and I was wondering if this could be a faint pontil? It looks like a smooth base but has a weird little extra glop of glass slopped on there... Any opinions? There is currently a similar one on ebay here

(except it has a longer neck) and I don't see much of a pontil on that one though they are saying it is a pontil...
I've included a picture,
Thanks for any info!
