CATS revisited

Mrs. Leonard - several people wrote to ask why I didn't suggest you go to ebay or visit local vintage shops.
I failed to make this suggestion. Please, do visit ebay and also vintage shops.
Shop with care and make certain the shopkeeper knows Blenko and is a honest person.

This photo is of a cat (missing head) that was a proto type and never made it to the line.
The second Cat is mismatched and has a nick on the ear.
These are examples of what can easily be found on ebay and in vintage shops. The mint condition takes time, energy and money.

  2. Personally, I like both examples.
    The headless cat is very nice, can someone made a head for him?
    Ebay and local shops are excellent sources.
    Listen to Bruce, and look at his finds. With time, knowledge and a bit of luck, well you know what I mean.
    Vintage Blenko is what I collect, I buy the new items for gifts to help Glasslady with her crusade.

    Who designed these cats for Blenko?
    Are they inhouse designs, or attributed to a designer?

  8. A not Blenko comment.
    Doc I recently saw a list of top dental schools in US
    Ohio State was listed in the top 30, I failed to find West Vrginia University on the list of 60 schools.
    Any comment?
