Glass ID

Readers :  Can we help T with the proper ID of this oil lamp?


Hello Hillary, I need help with identification of a glass oil lamp.  The lamp pictured was found by a friend at a Charleston area estate sale.  It is marked Blenko on the base.I have my doubts but I thought some of the Blenko Project faithful could help me with this. 
 Thanks T

    How about you show people the marking on the bottom. This blog really doesn't help people with lots of anything. Just be a little better about helping us in order to help you help your other readers

    Anonymous you are a better helper?
    Hilery why do you allow negative comments?

    I also would like to see the bottom but I was told by Boyd during noon that Blenko did make oil lamps in the mid 60s saw him yesterday and he said he was fairly certain.

    Hello Marlyn,

    When hillary is busy, I moderate the blog along with maintaining the website. About allowing negative comments, I think people are free to speak what they want. However, they must be prepared to bear the consequences of their words.

    Thanks
    V

    I looked at the catalogs on the Project's site and did not see oil lamps. I would also like to see the bottom of the base. Is there a pontil? Is the mark etched or is it a paper label? Are both base and globe crackled? I do know that Kanawha made oil lamps and had a similar color.
    V I do wish that those who just want to write negative comments would go away.

    Note to owner. Blenko has made many items that are not in the catalogs.
    This lamp is most likely a marriage of blenko & viking.

    STICKING A BLENKO STICKER DOES NOT MAKE IT BLENKO.
