<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 230025, member: 37&quot;]This is likely American and dates to about 1900, give or take.&nbsp; Overall insurance value might be around $3000.00.&nbsp; You might be able to buy something similar for less but I have certainly seen them priced this high or more.&nbsp; It really is irreplaceable given the family history and uniqueness of the piece.&nbsp;&nbsp; Consequently, a $350 replacement glass is not out of line to make it right.&nbsp; I would think that is just the glass.&nbsp; It would take a skilled repair person on top of that to make it right and doubt the labor will be inexpensive.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside,&nbsp; My family has a very similar heirloom piece.&nbsp; In it&#039;s 120 years it has only been moved twice.&nbsp; Once across 2 States and once about 20 miles.&nbsp; Both times, it was handled very carefully by family members who knew what they were doing.&nbsp; It is not something I would trust to a general moving company.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
