Friends
Are you willing to help me ID a couple of Blenko items I have? I can't
seem to find the answers elsewhere.
1st group of pix. Teardop bookends. I don't know what they're worth,
can't find any sold results. No damage to either pair, 1 red, the
other lavender. More pix to follow tomorrow.
thanx,
AN
Can we help Abby identify and place value on her Teardrop bookends?

Heart of Glass - Blenko Glass
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.

I pride myself in owning all the bookends in blenko catalogs from 50s forward.
I don't own this and haven't seem these.
Are they Blenko?
I pride myself in owning most all of the Blenko bookends.
I do not own this pair nor have I found them in my catalogs.
Any other suggestions?
Identity may not be Blenko?
I called Blenko today at 1:45
got a recording.
I went to Blenko at 3
no one was there.
Has Blenko closed? New hours?
What's going on?
They could have been made off hand. Maybe on some workers lunch hour, and sold at the vc
THIS QUESTION IS FOR THE OWNER OF THOSE TEARDROPS
HOW MUCH DO THEY WEIGH IS THEIR A PONTIL MARK ON BOTTOM?
I AGREE WITH CK THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO BE BLENKO
BEFORE YOU TOSS THEM REMEMBER I'M COLLECTING FOR 3 YEARS ONLY.

Anyone else having trouble getting Blenko to answer their phone?
Suggestions?
I'm trying between 9 and 3 (est).
My suggestion would be to phone between 10 am and 3:00 pm.
The phone rings into the office ( on the hill) either office workers or security guard answers when I phone.
Anyone bought or have photo other than the online offical Blenko photos of this new glass?
If so plz allow glassdoc to publish.
Yes they are Blenko. Top one is likely Tangerine the bottom set is Rose' which should help figure out the date since Rose' was only made '63-'64. They are found regularly, but far from common. I personally love them.
saw something similar to this at WV Museum of Glass in Weston
This is probably WV glass, saw something very similar at WVMuseumofGlass.

I'd like very much to know more about the current situation at Blenko.
Are they making glass? Will they remain open?
Can we get the 2011 new retro items in other colors?
Who is now making glass?
Status plz.

These are Blenko item # 6318 in ruby and rose (as far as I can tell from the photo). As I recall, they appeared in the 1963 catalog but not thereafter. They are uncommon but not rare.
These are Blenko
I've seen them in jade
emerald, cobalt and a perisan blue
We paid $ 33 - $40 per pair for the ones we own.
Prices may now be lower.
Hope this helps you.

They are Blenko.
Sorry darling but I own several sets.
I'll find them in the catalog and send the page # for you.
Nitro Antique Mall
for $35 in green and yellow.
FYI
Are these for sale?
I haven't seen those before; Hillary would be the best to identify.
Have known her since she was in the second grade: She had my co-teacher.
