Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

Can one buy copies of these vintage ads? I d like to use them for one of my waiting rooms. Let me know. Solomon
Solomon My recommendation is check out EBAY (daily) and to join the Blenko Collectors Society. Announce your 'wish list' and the amount you want to pay. Good luck! hjh
Solomon, You can visit the West Virginia Museum of American Glass or visit their website at: http://wvmag.bglances.com/store.htm
They sell Blenko Glass 1935-1969 :41 illustrated advertisements totaling 30 pages with a short history by Tom Felt. This booklet has a great collection of reprinted ads and show which magazine these ads can be found. I have used this booklet extensively and now have a very nice collection of ads. Hope this helps.
Solomon, One would instinctively like to say eBay, but vintage magazines and ads on eBay can be quite expensive. Your best bet is to look for old magazines in antique shops and used books stores. -Tim
