  1. The steer head shown is in the desert green color first introduced in 1996 - 1997 and then produced in 2003 to present. The cellophane label Block B Blenko Sticker - Used from 1982 to 1999. This label was designed by John Nickerson. The orange ball represents the hot glass ball on the end of the blow pipe. The line through the B is the pipe and the B is a mold. These stickers were also used until the supply was depleted. I copied this information from the Blenko collectors website at; http://www.blenkocollectors.com/
    The Blenko steer wall vase #992 was designed by Winslow Anderson and introduced in 1951, the original had horns that were about 20" long.
