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.

Elizabeth, You are correct in your response to Mountain Rita in that all three of these pieces came from ebay. Two of the three were mislists as I refer to them and only one was listed as "Blenko". I average over half of my purchases being mislists and currently it is higher due to really having to tighten my spending during these economic times. Does help my dollars go a lot further while not curtailing my enthusiasm for collecting. Surprisingly by concentrating I have found a bonanza recently. Will be sharing soon. Bruce Specht

Bruce has stated many times he buys on line and in small out of the way resell shops.
He looks for mislisted items.
