I used Tammy Fowler from Trphy Hair on Virginia Street in charleston to settle my Mother's estate in 1990 I don't know if she (Tammy) is still around but she charged a very small percentage of the estate and also sold the cars.
We didn't have to return to WV for the sale, it was an easy bittersweet end.

Huntington has a good number of vendors who handle estate sales.
In Milton my bet is one the shop keeepers on the Main Street would handle this assignment.
Call Blenko Glass and ask for the number or name of the shops on Main St.

The bittersweet sale. To avoid this, I have been giving away everything in my home.
I use only 5 of the 15 rooms. In the last 2 years several of my grandchildren have taken truck loads of furniture and other stuff.

Long long ago my Dad with a stint as a J1 MD at the Huntington Hospital - 70s- I'll ask my Mom if she remembers who handled the sale when they moved.

I would not mind helping you pick out the old Blenko, so you don't get burned. I can identify most other makers. Feel free to email me at

I'm about 1 hour 30 minutes from Columbus. Next time you want company for dinner. I'm available, just say when.
I think perhaps Glassdoc is too young to estimate your value and also she maybe a workacholic.
My group gets to Columbus or Cleveland at least 2 or 3 times a month.
