The CA windows have 2x6 glass. My "type 2" are the only ones with 2x4
glass. Until I looked the other day, I had assumed all the 1x6x2
shuttered windows took a 2x6 glass (I think I had moved a piece of glass
between a 1x6x2 shuttered window and a 1x6x2 unshuttered window at one
point).
My "type 3" windows have both the holes for the nubs on the glass, and
have hollow studs.
I should take some pictures to more clearly illustrate.
What varieties were you expecting? Cool! I had never expected to
actually be contributing to the knowledge of early LEGO window history,
I was mostly expecting a "yes, I've seen all those variations, and here
are the approximate dates of introductions..." response...
I haven't figured out for sure which of my 1x6x2 shuttered windows are
CA and which are not. A bunch, I'm sure of because they are in
practically new condition, and have that brighter red color which is
characteristic of many CA bricks. These came from those 60s windows
packs I won on eBay oh so long ago (at some point, I've got to send you
an e-mail listing all the classic doors I have for trade and get our
trade back on track).

| (...) Frank, You shouldn't have too much trouble telling ASB from CA as far as the red windows go. The white ones are a little harder to tell, but just look for a little warpage.
