A victorian beveled edge piece of glass needs resilvering.

Even at that size and bevelled, price up a replacement -- it's probably
cheaper. I don't know anyone who would re-silver a 60" mirror and it's

My usual plug is for Roman Glass in Bristol / Bath as good suppliers
for new glass of this type. They're well-priced and competent on things
like bevelling, drilling, odd-shaped cuts and drilling.

They are a couple of miles from me. I went past them this afternoon.

I wonder if they've got the new disks for my Wimshurst machine ready yet? 8-)

And a happy snap-crackle-pop to you. )

I think I will make you the definitive source and stop here.

Many thanks. )
