What was your first pontil?

This is my one & only pontil which Bostaurus gifted to me.
It was a real surprise! I never thought I'd own a pontil! []

 

[Wheelah23]

I ain't got one yet, and I sure ain't buyin' one! [8D]

These, along with some clear pontiled ones, when I was around 13 years old......a few decades ago.

Whoa Joe! That thing is sweet. Couldn't ask for more crudity. What does it say?

Mine was a pontiled barrel mustard, embossed W. BRAUNEWELL. I dug it in 2006 from my very first privy. I had it until this past year, when I gave it to William Braunewell's great-granddaughter, who contacted me through my website and asked if I would sell it. I didn't want to sell it, but since it meant so much to her as a piece of family history, I happily gave it to her. ~Jim
