BLENKO Pre-Designer

Hillary,

I often see things listed on ebay and other auctions as BLENKO pre designer. What does this mean? Is this item always very old and valuable?

NO! The item may or may not be 'old' as many pre designer items are in the current line. Example BLENKO WATER BOTTLE.

A quick check of facts on the web - and I found many photos of pre designer BLENKO.

I'll cut ans paste them for reference.

The BLENKO COLLECTORS FOUR had this to say about Pre - Designer. (check out this and the Blenko Company website for information).

Blenko Pre-Designers
Before Winslow Anderson was hired, the designing of the Blenko line was done by Bill Blenko, SR., a team of his best workers such as Axel Muller and Louis Miller. Blenko Sales Representative Eddie Rubel also had a voice in the designs stating what he thought would sell.
