Also have dug the flat A together w/ the stovepipe. Havent dug the X-base w/ a stovepipe though... but have dug x-bases w/ pointed A non-stovepipes.

Thomas should have flip-flopped Variants 2 & 3, which would account for a more natural progression.<br /><br />For example, Variant 1 has the pointed A, thus Variant 2 should also have the pointed A (essentially the same bottle, minus the larger top).<br /><br />Because Variant 4 has the flat A, it would seem to make more sense for Variant 3 to be the one that also has the Flat A?!?!<br /><br />Food for thought.<br /><br />Who has dug a True Stove-Pipe example along with a non-Stove-Pipe pointed A example? And how about digging a True Stove-Pipe example with a Flat A example? It seems from what I've seen and read, that these examples were all in use concurrently and therefore, group finds only go to really prove that they are more or less, contemporaries....J.F.
