It looks like a regular "Contempora"...??

The only Reynolds "Pottag" model that I know of has a nickel-silver bell wreath, and is extremely rare. In good shape, the model that I described commands a pretty penny.
Yes... 'Pottag Model' is engraved on the bell. This is the Roth-Reynolds 'Contempora' Pottag Model 160. The nickle garland appeared on a horn that was made a few years earlier. The info I'm citing can be found here:
