<p>[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 34530, member: 50"]First I'll say that this window has been at a local auction house for a very long time and when it's come up for sale I seem to have always been the only one remotely interested. Why I've been interested is a very good question, screw loose I think. Anyway, it came up again and this time that I brought it home. Uh oh!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the painted type of stained glass and the painting is in worse condition that I thought. Some panes are broken, some are cracked and the frame is old and needs repair. (Did I mention the screw loose part?) It is in two sections each being about 5' high so when mounted together they'd be about 10' high. The top section is arched and the bottom section has two names, presumably of donors or in memory of them as many of the panes have a lily type pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway.....I'm staring at it at a bit of a loss. Anybody dealt with this type before?[ATTACH=full]8668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]8669[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
