Blenko Water Bottle

Hillary Can you confirm this is Blenko? Also what should I pay for this?
My waterbottle collection now exceeds 70, all different, some more unusual than others.
I am looking for the handled water bottles and bottles in odd and discontinued colors if readers have these for sale. Well, let me know. Elle

Elle This certainly looks like Blenko. If it is, the asking price of $150 is
in the range of $100 to $200 we've seen as asking prices.
Good luck! www.blenkoproject.org for additonal information on Blenko Glass Collecting.

Sorry Paul J and Mountain Rita but Hillary is correct in that this is a blenko design. This is the Myers designed #6812 in Olive Green. Little bit of an obscure design but is comes up on ebay fairly frequently. Produced from 1968-71
Enjoy,

The price high.
Ask them to lower the price.
$75 is a realistic price.

Correct, it is a Blenko #6812. But the price sounds high. I have one in wheat and one in olive, and I don't think I paid more than $10 for either of them. The tag the antique mall put on the olive one called it a "juice bottle", probably because the pressed design looks like an orange slice. But I think the imprints are actually supposed to be sand dollars.
