   The largest single pane window that I am aware of was the 1x6x5, which had a very limited production in only 4 colors - blue, yellow, brown and gray. Since it was used in the 80’s and 90’s, the mold is probably retired today.

i saw that but dismissed it for some reason. Is it glazed? Do you know what the reasoning behind the grooves was?

Thanks

Yes those 1x6x5 windows have a glass insert. They are similar to the glass inserts in the 1x4x3 windows that can be opened and closed vertically. I don’t know why they have those groves around the perimeter. But it makes them “not compatible” in use with the 1x4x5 windows which have a smooth perimeter surface. These windows are rare in all colors (yellow, brown, gray) except blue. And because most of the blue ones come from space sets, they come mostly with the trans-yellow glass.
