I know the feelingThat's a crude one. There is a category of bottles from say 1865-1875 that can be described as "shouldabeenpontiled" or "refired pontil." These bottles may be transitional from pontil rod to snap case, bottles blown in the same mold but handled differently for finishing. The collector keeps looking for the evidence of attachment to a pontil rod, but there just is none. Frustrating, but not a rare happenstance.
