Measures approx. 18" x 16.5". I couldn't find anything like it on eBay nor Google image search, etc. Is this rare, since it's still in an advertisement form? Collectible? Contains real glass in it. Thank you!

That was the one that sounded closest to the ad !!  They also revised or improved glass they already held a patent on so hard to figure when the original was issued !!
