Does anywhere sell old designs of glass ?

[Rolyata]

I can't find my previous thread, so have started afresh.

A piece of glass was broken and it's one of 8 fixed panels forming a glazed porch ( no opening windows ).

A good old-fashioned glass merchant has now identified the glass pattern as 'broad reeded'. It's totally transparent and untextured - apart from the reeded design. The pitch of the reeds is 22mm.

He advised me that they stopped making it about 30 years ago.

Is there anywhere that salvages stuff like that or else might have some left over glass from that long ago ? I'm looking for a piece 900mm x

805mm.

I'd rather not replace all the others to make it match.

For all I know, you're one of the posters in the following discussion, but in case not, there's a couple of sources mentioned there:

So just because you're too lazy/dim to search for it, you really expect everyone who posted replies to post them again?

[BigWallop]

It's in the group under the subject header of "Matching some existing glass", and there are plenty of replies to it.

That's where a look through your sent items list in outlook express is handy. :-)

Perhaps you could use a search engine like, erm, well, google....

I replied to the previous post - can't be bothered to do it again.

Thanks Harvey.

I was not one of the original posters and that site looks very useful. In particular that dealer mentioned looks well worth a try.

To the others who seem to take exemption at me re-posting with new information.

Obviously I did try to search in various ways, but nothing came up. I also twice looked through manually and failed to find it. I've no idea if caching problems can occur when reading this site via Google, but there was certainly something odd happening that night. As far as I could tell, that thread had vanished, so re-posting with new information seemed the best way forward.

Some people are easily offended; if their ire wasn't raised by reposting, they'd find something else to be annoyed about. ;)
