I don't think it was ever tumbled. It looks like a scar is their but no iron residue. I will do a closeup and maybe new thread asking about it hopefully tonight.
Thanks again man!

Tooled with a lipping tool. Drippy double collared lip. Picture of the older one would be cool. Here is an 1850's example.

Some are so vague I question their validity. I don't see too much rust or iron. Some are done better than others I guess. Alot of iron residue was a sign of what? Alot of heat or inexperience. Here is one I think is vague. It is iron pontiled. All these ones were.

This one is tooled? That’s where I get fooled! Do you feel a ridge from the inside that might not be perfectly straight? I was thinking tooled would be smoother than the drippy lip…. Or I thought that, if your beautiful example is tooled. I told u I was self taught so I’m trying to catch up on that, after close to 40 years of this! Lol!
And sometimes the fired pontil will throw me too…. Or glass houses marks over it. I read the heck out of info on all that- and most of them I know- but it gets tricky sometimes! That big green lady leg one is just so pretty!

Here is three first is tooled second is but not as crude. The third is a machine made. The inside of the machine made is smooth. The tooled lips are rough in side and have a drippy lip. All are just the tops I picked up for examples.
