W. B. E. Pontiled Squat
 |
Circa 1850-1855 Pontiled Squat - W. B. E., Philadelphia
I've only ever seen a few of these, and never one without some damage. It's a very tough Philly name. This example came out of the Danny Catherino collection. It has an applied double taper top, and an iron pontil scar in a deep kickup. Very nicely whittled. Priced down for one condition issue, see below. By William B. Emmerick. Embossed in slug plate: W. B. E / NTH WATTER St. / PHILAD.A. Height: 7 3/8" Condition: it has a crack in one side of the top on the backside and is easily missed - from the lip to the collar. Otherwise, just some faint haze and overall spotty light wear. Never tumble cleaned, natural patina. Reference Number: SM29 Price: $210 |
