To identify and authenticate items as Blenko one must be able to match a form with a Blenko design number. For every year of the Historic period (1947-74) Blenko produced an annual catalog showing every shape available for purchase with a photo and corresponding design number.

Below we list sources for purchasing reproductions of Blenko catalogs and we have also published online all Historic Period catalogs from 1948-61 and 1972-74
