Here's one I picked up for fairly cheap. I was thinking Dutch? Very sloppy top, very crude, wonky shape etc. Base is not pontiled it seems. About how old is this, and how much do they typically go for? Thanks!
(As always apologies for indoor pictures)

What a great top! Nice find.
 

Love the sloppy finish, and looks like a Pontil scar from here but I am viewing this from a small screen. nice bottle though.

It's not really rough, more just bumpy, and has a faint star looking thing embossed on the base which made me think it wasn't a pontil scar, but I'm no expert.
 

I think it probably dates to the period 1820-1840. Probably Dutch, but exported widely. I've found a couple of 'em in Florida. Nice find!
