About Antique Pontiled Bottles

Most bottles made before 1858 have a pontil mark on the bottom, or a coin-sized indentation where the pontil rod was snapped off (the pontil rod held the bottle while it was being formed and finished). Pontil rods were often made of iron, so pontil marks may contain reddish residue stuck in the hole. The pontil mark acts as an excellent dating tool.
