Collectible BLENKO - 1982 WV BIRTHDAY

Maggie McMillian reports finding this 1982 BLENKO GLASS - West Virginia Birthday Piece at an estate sale in Huntington - near Ritter Park. She paid $800. Her piece is # 57 and signed by Don Shepperd and WH Blenko.
Maggie knew it was BLENKO, and that it was beautiful - thought because of the # it was a limited edition - she did not know it was one of the very ' special' WV Birthday Pieces.
GREAT FIND!
Maggie reports she is now on a mission to find the other 26. With time and patience, she may very well. The first six seem to be the most difficult to find, so she has a great start with her #3.
