Leland
I can provide also the sizes you specify with 19th century salvaged glass.
We can clean it and cut to your size.
I would restore the sash weight system. I have a large quantity of red
bronze sash chain on hand and if you need more it is manufactured in
Torrington. If you want it antiquated I also have the agent to give the
chain the authentic look.
I will call you next week.
Bill
