MY GUESS IS YOU DID NOT
A MONTH AGO WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE PLATES THE GIRL SAID I THINK UNDERLINE THINK THEY ARE ALL SOLD AND I DUNNO UNDERLINE DUNNO WHO MADE THEM OR WHAT THE PRICE WAS
DUNNO AND DONT THINK.
THE PLATES ARE AWESOME AND I AGREE WITH JUST CURIOUS THEY COULD BE A UNIQUE GIFT ALSO A NEW MARKET FOR A FALTERING OLD FACTORY.
SWEET DOC SAID SHE WAS THERE LAST WEEKEND ANY UNBIAS PERSON WHO ATTENDED THE BLENKO CELEBRATION OF BLACK FRIDAY??
WERE THE CLASSES FULL?
IT WASNT ON TV IN OUR AREA, WE WERE SURPRISED TO LEARN BLENKO PAID FOR TV AGAIN IN THIS TIME OF RE ORGANIZATION.

HILLARY
A HEART OF GLASS PLATE WOULD BE VERY PRETTY?
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THIS?
MOUNTAIN RITA
Question ?
How many plates did he make? Are they sold as a set?
This would be a nice addition to a Blenko Collection.
Perhaps adding photos of Shorty Finley, Wes Womack, Jessie Carpenter, Mr. Bill Blenko, Ms. Kosla, Mr. RIck Blenko other influential people - the new VP,
and designer as they are available.
Mountain Rita is correct in suggesting you also
pose for a plate.
These are my thoughts.
Thumbs up to Ernie!
These photo plates are very nice! Would love to have several of them,but after going to his wesite did not find a price for these custome made plates or a link to order. Great work but website needs some work if he wants to get orders
Don't call Blenko
I did and got the dunnos
Mountain Rita spoke of.
Training for personnel would
be a good use of Blenko monies.

Nice photo of designer Bayliss
and also of Red Powers son.
Did they have an estate sale for Red?
I'm interested in his Husted glass.
