I wrote in September to ask about Paper weight collecting. What Blenko had to offer, what was currently available and also if you could publish photos of older paperweights.
I received a form email - stating you received my email and would research.
Call me Still waiting in OK.

Max,
We wrote to Blenko in early September asking for photos of available Paperweights and any information they might have.
Readers: If you collect paperweights please send photos to theblenkoproject@aol.com Or if you have suggestions for starting a paperweight collection.
Dave Osburn - Osburn Modern Glass, Ron Hinkle, and Appalachain Glass all make paperweights. Check their websites.
Max just for you - I did find TAMARACK has a large - more than a dozen different paperweight made in WV available this day.
Below you'll find photos of my favorites.

Blenko is making night lites out of the paperweights.
I purchased 3 for birth gifts.
Paper weights are being made, not sure what the delay with photos is but they do offer these, or did when I was last to Blenko.

I gave my paper weight collection to the local glass museum, but most all were from the tri state area.
Charlie Gibson made the best
he and Mr. Harmon. See if you can find photos of their work for blog readers.
Blenko use to make paper weights with roses and swirls in the 70s . I have no knowledge of paper weights in the current stock.

Hillary,
we have a collection of Blenko, Gibson and Hamon paperweights at home and in our store. The Blenko paperweights are the old-style with swirled, colored centers. The Hamon paperweights are mostly freeforms that are one of a kind. I will send picks in the next few days.

I ordered the 3 pictured but would you have glasslady post photos of your collection.
Paper weights would be an inexpensive way to start a collection or if one is older they take up little room.
Beauty in a mini size.
Thank you I ordered from Tamarack
I plan to start paper weight collections for the children of my co workers.
If you (Hillary) get photos of Blenko paperweights please post.
