SOURCE FOR CHICKEN WIRE GLASS: I'm restoring two G&B T-176's and needed chicken-wire glass for both the jar lids. I searched high & low until finally connected with the guy below. He harvests & re-cycles vintage industrial glass. He cut & shipped me a 6" X 6" square for my T-176 Small-Door and a 7" circle for my T-176 Long-Door. He's pricey but, he has the actual, correct, quarter-inch thick chicken wire glass you'll need. The original glass thickness was called "Quarter Inch Heavy". He has "Quarter Inch Light" but, the difference in thickness almost undetectable. He's a good guy:
