You probably know the BLENKO CONNECTION between Fenton's Dave Fetty and Shorty Finley. They remain life long friends, and even today speak on the phone every few weeks.
A friend sent this Fenton Fish made by Dave Fetty that is available on Ebay for $145 at the time he sent the fish. (maybe sold by now) - Great Fish and wonderful Fenton item. We welcome your photos of West Virginia glass and your stories or memories of West Virginia glass.
Master Craftsman Dave Fetty created this beautiful off-hand free standing fish in 2003. It is 9" long and 5" tall. It has been signed with 2003 by Dave Fetty and features his personal stamp. It is free of cracks and chips.

This is beautiful. I think it requires a stand-alone wall possibly in tones or red or blue? and a nice lighting to make justice to the piece of art.
Come on People, comments!!!
There are many Fenton collectors in this part of WV Hilly if you do more Fenton articles you'll get them interested just an idea.
