Blenko Cross

Glass Cross Available At BLENKO GLASS in Milton, West Virginia and Serenity Glass in Texas.
Larry of Serenity Glass in Texas sent this photo - For me its a first, I've seen the crosses in the VC but never a completed cross. Who does the leather and metal work? Anyone know.
Does anyone know the history of the crosses? Are they made for a certain company or group? I bought a cobalt one with out the leather and metal for my Mom's housekeeper ( she's a 70 year old born again Church of God lady) Ms. Hall has been at our house since I was in grade school and she wears a cross daily, I have given her Womack Angels or Snowmen for a decade. While she likes the angels she will adore the cross. Now if I can find out where to get the leather and metal? www.blenkoglass.com If you know the answers or have questions of your own leave a comment.
