A Ton of FREE GLASS, Got to Love It!, $5000 CAD?

I counted up some of the FREE glass I got today. There are about

4 large sheets of 3mm

14-15 large sheets of 4mm

and a dozen so smaller sheets of 3 and 4 mm.

Most of this glass (unscratched),  I can use to make  Ambrotypes on, Glass up to 24x24 inches. With the 4mm thick glass I will have to take the back of the holders to prevent light leaks.

There is also some textured glass in various sizes that is not as useful but that I can probably cut down and paint, to use as background substrates for framed works.

I am unsure how much this glass is worth new but my guess is $4000-$5000 CAD. The glass is far from new, muddy, scratched and some broken but still a wonderful find for the AMBROTOS KANATA project.

 I had some positive Karma today!

Thank you again Elizabeth and Keith for your kindness!!

I hope I can turn some of your fathers glass into works of art, worthy of collecting. Something that can be shown in a museum 1 hundred years after we are all gone.
