Glass ID Help

In the stuff I recently purchased, there was a huge 400 lb. crate full of new glass windshields. In addition to the dozen W62 and W63 pieces (48-53 stepdown), there were some bigger ones. Numbers 338 and 309. Anyone know what these fit?
I was guessing maybe the smaller of the two was Jet and the other 54 Hornet/Wasp, but not positive. They may be Hash?

are they NOS?

Should be easy to tell if one is a 54 full size Hudson as it would be basicly the same size as a pair of the 48-53 stepdown ones together,

I am going to need a set of them for my 49'.. do they have the original stamps?

Not sure if they have date stamps but will look. These were crated in 1974 and shipped to Denver from Canada. I think they are PPG.

309 is 53-54 Jet windshield. 338 is a 54 stepdown, all. Too bad, no #8249 for rear backlight for 52-54 coupes. If no date code bugs, they can be purchased at Roy Nacewicz Carlton Glass.

Awesome! Thanks for the info guys. Confirmed what I was thinking. It looks like I have 3 tinted Jet, I tinted 54 and 2 clear, and a whole bunch of the clear 48-53. I will look for stamps when I go to the shop tomorrow. I would be surprised if they are from the early 50's, but they are at least older than 1974.

Has anyone ever shipped windshields? Suggestions?

Big box lots of bubble wrap . A radiator box works good ,or make your own,

The 48-53 should be easy, I was more concerned about the 54 and Jet Windshields. Maybe I can go to a glass shop and see what they get theirs delivered in.

We use these guys to build crates for fragile/odd items we need to ship: http://www.cratek.com/ Works good for us, their price beats what we can do material and time wise.

You are right I was visualising split windshields

Don, I would be interested in a Jet windshield. I have a friend bringing a car back to N.Z., so could put in the back seat.

I didn't see any date codes. Most of them had PPG logo and ASI 93 and a couple had LOF logo.
