This window came from a once beautiful home that was razed 15 years ago to expand the parking lot of a funeral home (grrrrr). Just wondering if it has much value since similar windows seems to be common in the older neighborhoods. My estimate on when the home was built would be 1880-1900. Then glass itself measures 18" X 30".

Thanks for any info

I see old stained glass windows or ones like that for sale very often in antique shops and flea markets. If it's not cracked anywhere and in good shape it seems they run from $220. to $375. My guess for one like that in Denver it would be priced at $250.+ and in a shop like Aspen, Colorado, it have an asking price $450. or more?. I'm always looking for some old leaded glass window to hang inside in front of a corner window in my living room, but I haven't found one at a price I wanna give. Some I've seen below $100. but they need some panels replaced. I would also say the price of these old salvaged windows might even go up in value, as they'll be less old Victorian homes to demolish in places like Detroit and old St. Louis as time goes on.
 

Thanks for the info!!

The more ornate stained glass windows are works of art and priced accordingly. I didn't know if clear glass windows hold a lot of value.

I still kick myself every time I think about not buying around 100 old sleds from a auction of a sled and sleigh shop that was from the mid 1800's. I should have taken them to aspen and sold them as wall hangers for 300-600 a piece. most went in large groups for around 5-10 dollars a piece at auction. Stupid stupid stupid me

hindsight really sucks at times

35 or more years i passed on many original '60s and '70s MoPar muscle car parts in a warehouse...many parts now are worth more than the cars they came on used to sell for. For instance, I remember a mint set of '70 Charger RT doors for $50 each...they're now fetching $1000 each in that condition.
 

I hate reading about mopar I passed up alot myself
