Can We Help This Reader Identify Her Decanter?

Linda - will you write again to give you the size - measure the bottle, also tell us about the bottom of the bottle - what do you see when you look at the bottom (marks - Blenko etched?) HJH
Hello! I have a Blenko decanter I purchased at an Estate Sale here in Northeast Ohio. It is the white opaque semi-transparent glass that Wayne Husted made on in the year 1960. I was told that the flame stopper is not the original. I have a picture and would like to share it with you. Could you please let me know if the stopper is NOT the original? I wondered if Wayne Husted would remember this piece and if by chance he produced some of these decanters with this white cased stopper that came with the decanter when I purchased it.
Thank you so much for your time and any helpful information you can provide.
Sincerely,
Linda
