The wooden frames with the glass are going to be a headache to deal with. You can
strip the paint off the frames but the glass is held in with the old style putty. That putty
is long past its functional use. It has dried out and cracked to the extent that it will start
flaking away from the frame. I do custom leaded glass for a living and when I get called
in to repair broken glass in a leaded window, the repair can be dealt with. The pain in the
you know what is removing the existing putty that holds the window into those old style
frames and then re puttying it back in. If you can chip the putty out to remove the beveled
glass pieces they could be re used and leaded together to make a real window. You will spend more time trying to re furbish that frame than it is worth. Trust me on that. The bevels
look like they have a steep bevel angle. That is what makes them look great. Most of the new
bevels that come out of China and Korea are on thinner glass with a shallow bevel angle.
They are beveled but have no sparkle or prism effect. Cheap crap!!
