Rare Circa 1850 Pontiled Squat - A. BECHTER, Philly

This is a super scarce Philly pontiled squat - only a handful exist intact. This one would be >$300 but it has a hard to see base bruise, no chips or other issues. It has a rectangular slug plate and an applied double taper top. The base is pontiled with lots of residue.
