BLENKO from 1965
Can anyone tell Yvonne K of Culloden about her blenko? See photo.
Based on receiving it in 1965, it could be a #6533, but the stopper looks like it doesn't quite fit. What color is it? To me, it looks charcoal, and I don't think charcoal was a color option that year. That may be the photo.
6533 looks right. Is it the 1965 "peacock" color? Somebody might have added a rubber piece to the stopper to make it fit tighter so it could actually be used as a liquor decanter.

How much would I pay for this?
You can have my Peacock for $350.
