Alternative form of punty
- 1889 March, C. Handford Henderson, Popular Science Monthly, volume 34, Glass-Making I:
  In the mean time a second workman has gathered a small lump of glass on the end of his iron rod, or "ponty," and by pressing it against an iron point forms it into the shape of a tiny cup. This is fitted over the bullion-point of the glass, and, as they are both hot, soon becomes firmly attached to it.
