Who Collects BLENKO ?

Can you find the BLENKO COLLECTORS in these photos?



Readers write to ask 'who' collects W.Va and Blenko Glass?

Blenko and West Virginia Glass collectors and people who are interested in West Virginia Glass come in all sizes and all ages, sex isn't an issue, both women and men collect West Virginia and Blenko Glass.
The men who collect to be very knowledgeable about origin, value and history, while women who collect often collect a particular color or style/designer (most of the female collectors I know are also informed about all aspects of glass, but often focus their collections to their favorite era etc).


NOTE: These observations were made by a non -psychology major - - I should have consulted my friends Kate and Lindsey (both Psych Majors) before making behavioral comments.
