Restored I think the pair should still be worth $300-$400 at least.

from what I see are all the different patterms in the glass. Does that mean stained glass is clear or patternless

I think the "pattern" you are referring to was done so for the purpose of "diffusing" or "distorting" the light, thus preventing one from "clearly" seeing through the glass.

Leaded glass is leaded glass, meaning it is afixed in place via a lead perimeter or molding, ..... regardless of whether the glass that was used is clear, rippled, stained, painted, acid-etched, sand-blasted and/or colored glass.

If it looks like a "leaded glass" panel ..... and has any "color" to it, ...... most every one will call it a "stained glass" window, door or lamp shade.

I'm hoping the colors pop more when I clean them up better. I think it will help in the sale.

I want to get the wood back in shape and remove the paint and clean. How do you over restore. I'm not going to change anything.

If you are going to sell them, Just clean them up,, soap and water, a little windex !! Chances are whoever buys them will put them in another frame anyway !! If you get paint on the leading it just makes it harder for them !!

No I'm not going paint. I just want to take of the paint off on the glass and the one I'm keeping I want the natural oak wood. From what my husband says they were never meant to be painted to begin with.

I see nothing wrong with cleaning the paint off the glass yet keeping the sashes painted with a new coat. Many windows were like that, and it would make the restoration process considerably easier. Just make sure all the lead cames/muntins/mullions are sound!

Not sure. My husband ready to kill me with all of my things. ;D I'll probably keep both and hang them. I have two places for them. But if I don't do it quickly and let it sit I'll hear about it, lol. He still has furniture from that house to bring home. I'm in competition for his equipment and tools and he's says I'm taking up to much space. We had this debate yesterday, lol I always win. ;D

It would be a shame to  split them !!  For one thing if you ever decided to sell them,, restorers of old houses would pay well for a matching pair,, singles are easily found and pretty cheap !!

I just got wood glue on my hands. (Monster glue) I washed them and it didn't work. Hand lotion was the answer!
