    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!

  3. 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.

  5. 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.
