We ask for photos of Raindrops - Mr. Richard Pulcrano of Huntington www.blenkoproject.org (click on collections) provided the photos below.

Does one have to be rich like Rick Pulcrano to own raindrops?
Where are they available for purchase?
Also is it the photo or is the glass crystal with specs?
What is available in Raindrop series? Only 3 items?
Questions, questions, questions and yes I bought the books you suggested but these answers are not in the books.
Next question - is there a collectors club? If so when and where do they meet.

As an MD my thoughts are few of the collectors have more income.
The Blenko Collectors Founder is the wife of a steel worker (good middle class family) they have an outstanding collection. Blenko collectors are unique, loyalty to Blenko may be the only common thread.
You need not be 'rich , Blenko is factory glass - handblown colorful glass made in a small WV factory.
Re: availability of Raindrop check ebay, and perhaps place a Craig's List ad.

We met Rick last year, a nicer person does not exist.
As long as Blenko Glass has supporters and collectors and educators like Rick P the memory of Blenko and the search for quality and unique handcrafted glass will continue.
We are the proud owners of 3 pieces of Raindrop.
Add my name to the list of people wanting more Pulcrano.
His collection is my fave on both websites.

Great news! All the most beautiful glass in not in Texas!
Pulcrano family glass is totally awesome, can you talk them out of more photos?
Hello I just purchased a raindrop decanter. It's beautiful, I'm a glass collector and have many pieces of Blenko, I'm sure the stopper is a candleholder. A good buy today for $9.99.
