I am in search of a pair of Smithway L1 sight glasses in useable condition. I know these are almost impossible to find, but maybe someone knows of a set for sale. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. This is an excellent site and everybody has been extremely helpful in my other searches.

I've got a friend that just bought a crate of misc site glass, I will see what he has. He just sold his last L-1, I gotta go by memory on the size. I sold my last one about three years ago. Brady

That sounds good. If he has one that would help a lot. One on my pump is pretty nice, but the other is chipped.

Like this. 2 5/8" across the base and about 2" high.. If yours is only chipped and you don't use it, I'd take it. I have three pumps and only 2 glasses, so any would help....GB

If I can find a useable one I will send it to you. The chip is pretty large and is on the tip of the glass.

If you want to send me the chipped one I can have my glass blower make you some 'new' ones. Call or email (no PM's). Ron

What would it cost to have a set made? An estimate would be okay. If it is not astronomic I would be interested.
