Verified sources

We checked this business against our three rules. Here is the public proof we found:

• ✓ American owned

  The Blenko Family page: "Six presidents across four generations, since 1893." After Walter J. Blenko Jr.'s death in 2019, "Patricia Blenko survives him and remains an active part owner of the company today," and "John Blenko took the presidency, the fourth generation of the family." Closing line: "the name on the building is still the name at the furnace." No foreign parent found.

• ✓ Made in the USA

  Visit page: "Proudly Located in Milton, WV Since 1921"; "Blenko Glass is a proud West Virginian company"; "handcrafted, West Virginia glass." Home: "100 years of West Virginia handcrafted glass" and "meticulously handcrafted glass." Address: 9 Bill Blenko Drive, Milton, WV 25541. Phone: (304) 743-9081. Caveat: official wording is West Virginia handcrafted/handblown glass at the Milton factory, not the exact phrase "Made in USA" or "American-made."
