Blenko Glass Blog - - Insurance for Glass?

Glass doc,
   In five years I have been over 20K  for Blenko and Fenton Glass.  My collection is of older
pre 70s glass and most all pieces are signed.
    My friend who is also a collector recently lost most of his glass to storm damage - at this time he was informed he has 1,000$ in coverage for glass.  
    I know there are collectors and vendors who have hundreds of thousands of dollars in glass,  so my question is where does one go for insurance?
    I promised myself I wouldn't make another purchase before getting insurance.
Suggestions?  Please respond,  and its OK to publish this letter.  I need help, and help quickly.

Suzanne,
   My collection is probably worth less than 5K,  I am not insured.  We'll publish your note in anticipation of a suggestion or two from readers.
    Any insurance agents who provide riders for glass?  If so this is a good time to respond.  Free advertisement for your agency.

    I have All State and a rider for 25K in glass. I pay an additonal $210 per year.
    Inexpensive.

  2. Bruce from Texas, or Tammy Kusla or one of the collectors shown on the webpages might have a suggestion, no one with that much glass would be uninsured.
    Another thought is to phone Blenko and ask them, its their business.

  4. I looked into collection insurance at one point. It was prohibitively expensive her in California, given that I live practically ON the San Andreas Fault. Perhaps other areas would be less costly.
