pounds). The center glass panel

.
This is an estate barn find and
is quite dirty and dusty throughout from years of storage and could use a good cleaning. It shows moderate to heavy white paint and surface tarnishing from age and use. T
his has been left intact since uncovered and can be used as is with paint and patina. Also can be stripped clean and polished and this will shine. Buy one or both.
Auction is for one porthole or you can buy both.
A porthole, sometimes called bull's-eye window or bull's-eye, is a generally circular window used on the hull of ships to admit light and air. Though the term is of maritime origin, it is also used to describe round windows on armored vehicles, aircraft, automobiles and even spacecraft.
