Its been in a house for donkeys years as well . . . . just checked salters site and couldn't see any similar |

Glass is no problem, there are lots of places that will cut it to size for you. Apart from that I can't help you with identification.

Cheers kris, after having a mare finding boatman glass that we seem to break twice a year that was my major worry. To be honest it ain't gonna get swapped out in this weather anyway! The rest of it is sound ATM. More curious than anything! |

I've had stoves with glass before and they seem to break too often. I now have stoves with Mica viewing panels. One is a French art deco thing the other is a Dutch cooking stove. It doesn't give such cottagey feel to the stove but as it is on a boat I prefer boaty to cottagey.
Anyway I would advocate cutting a piece of 6mm steel plate to fit the aperture where the glass goes then hole saw to cut say a 2 inch round hole then a steel ring which would be bolted to the main piece to hold a piece of mica in the gap between the two.
.that way you can still see the status of he fire and you won't get broken glass. It is quite a lot of work though.
One thing I did discover is that the glue used to stick fire rope to the doors can also be used to seal up a crack in stove glass. Probably not a long term option but it does stop the glass falling out. Major problem with broken glass is that it can make the fire unusable or dangerous which would be shocking.

Sounds nice, I was once given some tape that baked on and sealed minor cracks, worked a treat but not sure it would bss pass. Got us through a winter though! Just serviced boatman for bss painted, rope and replaced glass, someone gets a bargin in the spring! |

Next time my stove breaks the glass, it's getting replaced with steel plate. I've had enough of replacing glass. It's a double door hunter so two pieces of glass.
