WANTED: Forbes Field window
 
Hello, shot in the dark here....

I am looking for a window from Forbes Field. I know they are out there. They measure 5 x 10'. In 2006, Hunt sold a few of these in the ASG auction. Back then, I was in my mid 20s, primarily collecting 19th century-1930s Pirates memorabilia and photos. Fast forward over 10 years later, I am 37 and planning on building a new home. I wish I would've bought at least a couple windows back then.

Anyways, I know there are some floating around out there. I had a lead on at least 2 of them, but the person I have been in contact with has had some family issues and is not answering emails anymore.
Any and all help would be appreciated. If you are in the Pittsburgh area, or close, I will travel and pick up.

I just saw another one at The National Ballpark Museum in Denver, Colorado two weeks ago.
I wish I could help with your request. They are definitely cool!

Hunt sold 10 of them at the auction and I believe that only 5 of them had all original glass, the others had mirrored glass. I don't know of any available.

Good luck as they're great!
