ziggyzora Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Unusual construction for an old handmade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Boy, I'd say so. Both pontils are pretty weird for an old handmade. Maybe a lot weird. Obviously the maker was having some glass issues too . . . Odd and interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just as a guess,either it was too hot when it was made,or someone tried a torch repair. Griff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roany poany Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'd say that's a purdy darn good guess Griff. Looks like I see the calf slobbers that are left on the surface from being torch worked . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggyzora Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Thank you all for replys, also wondered why the outer bands were rough and on the surface, this explains it all! found the original pics, bought on ebay 2007 wonder if any of the others had the same treatment? I think these two were from the same auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
