I made a cursory check of the 1910 (?) Sears catalogue I have in my library
last week, but didn't find any "glacier glass" and I don't recall any
specific "QA" models of doors or windows -- but couldn't spend much time
looking. The versions of glass I anticipated might be called "glacier" --
frosted, crackled, crazed, or otherwise decoratively obscured -- had no
mention of the G word. (Maybe it is not obscuring glass and I was barking up
the wrong tree entirely.) Mostly they had rather "Sears-esque" model names
and numbers. Checked Nicholson, no luck, but didn't check the 3 volume arch
dictionary (can't remember author's name at the moment) from around that
time. I'll give it a try on Monday.
