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.
When I get home tonight, I will be checking all my 1x6x3 classic windows with shutters
to verify all the above anomolies. The hollow studs are found on all windows since
1957. I think I have about 100 of these shuttered windows in red, and about 30 in
white, with at least 25% made of Cellulose Acetate. For some reason, I haven't used
these yet in any building (I've been saving them for a special project -- along with the
1x6x2 (3) pane windows). The one thing that can skewer my own observations is the fact
that most of mine (about 85%) are from Europe, with fewer from the USA (most of these
would be Samsonite). You might have some Samsonite versions that I don't have. Please
let me know what you find out.
And as for our pending trade, I haven't forgotten you. It's just that the trade total
just keeps growing.
