Want tp Buy: ROYAL #10 Beveled Glass "Window"

Looking to buy one of the large beveled glass windows for my ROYAL No. 10. The piece is
3.518 x 2.590-inches (3 1/2 x 2 9/16-inches) in size and its corners are rounded.

Thank you!

The pronoun has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.

The glass inserts on eBay weren't right?

No Uwe...I think they would have indeed been right and I communicated with the seller and
kept an eye on the auction for several days.  Then I got detained at work and didn't get home until after the auction ended. 
I should have jumped in there earlier with some sort of bid but I am sure the slam-dunkers would
have found my max  anyway, which is why I was a huge eBay user in 2000 and in the last 5 years
have bid on only two items. It's all so different now and I really prefer dealing with good folks one-on-one..

Oh well.  

The search continues...

Oh, that is a shame.  Those had been resisted several times.  I posted them a while back for someone else who was looking for the same thing. Hopefully some more will show up.

Thank you for your condolences, Spazmelda. I'm a brand new member and the warm cordiality
that exists here is such a breath of fresh air compared to another specialty blog to which I belong.
I believe folks passionate about typewriters are a pretty classy bunch.

I only need one of the four panels the seller was selling so hopefully whoever won them needed
all four and that would make his need greater than mine; so I guess in that case it would be
all for the best. But, I was kicking myself. I walked in the door about 12 minutes after that auction ended.

I've been doing some research and am considering trying to cut and bevel a piece of leaded
glass myself. It might not work but there's been a lot of stuff I have never done before that I was
delighted to discover, "Hey...I can do this!" So it's worth a try.

Thanks again for your kind comment.

May I make a suggestion ?  Rather than try to cut and bevel a piece of glass, see if you can obtain an off-cut of perspex (clear acrylic sheet) from a sign-maker.  You can cut this with a fine-toothed hacksaw, file the bevels, then polish with increasingly finer grades of emery cloth - finishing with metal polish.  Alternatively, a good glass merchant might be able to make the panel you want, using the one from the other side as a pattern.  It might not be as expensive as you think.  Worth asking for a quote !

You can get a peice custom made. Maybe if you could take out the other peice of glass and bring it to get remade...


Back from a long break.

Starting fresh with my favorite typer. A Royal Futura!
