Blenko Molds

Blenko Molds On a personal note - I'd love to have a dozen Blenko molds - for display in my Kitchen. Thus far no Blenko mold has appeared in my life. Today a photo of Blenko Molds was in my mail - I'm sharing the photoeach Blenko mold is hand carved usually cherry wood by a Blenko employee. The life span of a mold varies due to use and other conditions.



















Hillary I was told these were Blenko molds, I’m attaching the pics that I just took. The larger one is in the best shape although someone painted a few pictures on them (gees) but I think it would clean up. The smaller one is in worse shape with no handles and more rickety. The large one is marked 7115S and the small one looks like it is marked 3750L.

I have two molds and the best way to clean is gently with a low powered pressure wash. Good luck;)

Geoff: no I don't sell them. I was given two molds at my last visit to Blenko.

How do I get a mold? I'd like two or three just for viewing.

Given molds?
I'm at Blenko 6 or 7 times a year and never walk out without spending 500+ and no one has ever given me anything.
Wait - Once Diana gave me a couple cookies from a plate.
Atomic Crestwood are you beautiful and blonde?
