We are looking for a source for REDFORD GLASS.

A house in Newton, MA, was completed in 1845.  Chris, the
homeowner has the original building plan that specifies cherry for the
sash and frames as well as redford glass.  Redford glass is also known
as 'crown glass', has a bluish tint and was manufactured in Redford, NY
in the early 1800's.

We know of the usual reproduction glass outfits, but are thinking we might
find a source of old glass that has been identified as Redford Glass, or is
very similar.
