         I'm not sure if you can help us or not but; we are looking for 2 pieces of colored glass circa 1880s to replace 2 that are cracked badly in a door that we are going to be putting on our house. We have asked the few glass people we know locally don't know who else to contact. Since we only buy and sell antique hardware but do not buy or repair stained glass windows I thought I would turn to you. If you do not have any of this glass yourself but may know someone who may, we would appreciate it if you would point us toward them.
         The glass looks look like it could be little triangles fused onto glass but we have been told they were probably pressed into the hot glass. The edges are not sharp. I wonder if you can sell us some of this if you have any? If you do not have any right now can you tell us where we might find some old colored glass like this. Or if you know how / if they can be made, can you help find us someone who can replicate them?
         The pictures we have posted are about as good as it gets short of an actual piece in your hands. From the back it is not perfectly flat. It appears that each raised triangle on the front has a slight dip in the center on the back (the flatter side) as if it was poured onto the pattern and sunk at the highest points. The thickness seems to be no more than 1/16" and no less than 3/32" The 2 best color matches we could find were at Delphi Glass in Lansing Michigan. I have no idea what the pattern names were but the numbers we have to identify the new glass is XS262 & B143730 (I hope that means something to you). The triangles do have a definite shape and feel to them but the edges are subtly rounded so as not to be sharp.
        

We only need 2 small pieces 1 emerald green and 1 in amber.
        The Green glass needed is 13-1/8" X 4-1/8" exactly. It cannot be larger as all pieces are very snug in the frame. The Amber is 10-13/16 X 4-1/8" exactly. It also cannot be larger as all pieces are snug. It would not hurt for them to be 1/16" shy but cannot be more as tolerances are close. These are some pieces of the glass, ideally we would like old glass. If it can be made new like the old, that is ok too.              Thanking you in advance Steve & Connie Robinson
