[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 4303815, member: 22"][USER=20937]@Boland[/USER] Provenance is the thing with these. My friend has a large collection of portholes, he was a saturation diver and went all over the world recovering things. He even helped recover a fully armed USN jet off the coast of Ireland, the navy did not have the technology to do it, but his team did. He has a porthole off the SS Egypt and another one that is massive, its leaning against the wall in his hallway, trying to move it is a no go, 3 man lift at least. I've seen several that were that badly corroded, he had them sandblasted and they came up like new.[/QUOTE]
