Tim and Karin Alonzo's Paperweights

Tim and Karin Alonzo of Texas are said to have one of the best - if not the best collection of Blenko paper weights. Paperweights ( American paperweights please) are a good collectible for anyone - small, easily stored, many independent glass makers offer paper weights.
While we BLENKO - paper weighs are offered by more than 100 USA makers. Check back for information about the Official Paperweight Collectors Association.
NOTE: The paper weights shown are vintage - Blenko Glass Gift Shop currently has a small selection of paperweights. Paperweights are made by the more skilled craftsmen. hjh
