This lamp was made last week by Everette "Shorty" Finley a retired blower. Shorty often returns to BLENKO for a few hours to 'visit the boys, and try his hand at blowing' last week he made this lamp and shade - as a possible proto type. SHORTY TURNS 80+ TODAY - - IF you see SHORTY or have his phone number..give him a Happy Birthday greeting! Note: Photo taken on 12/27/06 Blenko GLass Co. HJH
