Original Stained Glass

So one of the conditions when we put in an offer for the church was we wanted everything that was original to the building.  In this pile of stuff we acquired one pew (I am disappointed that there is only one left.  We were told that over the years they were sold off), the pulpit, shelving/cabinets (we think they held bibles), one kneeler, and four original pieces of stained glass.






They need a ton of work.  No one has given them any love or kept them in a place where they would be safe.  One of them has a huge crack through the chin.  Sad as even in the state they are in they are beautiful.  We are also unsure as to where we would like to put them.  The windows have been replaced since these four were graced with sunlight everyday.  Just for interest I checked out how much something like this goes for on Ebay.  A LOT.  I don't think that is the avenue we want to take either.  I need to find someone who restores stained glass as a starting point I suppose.

We were also left with a few things we did NOT want to have to deal with but were left with anyway.  A washing machine, a dryer (both with pieces taken out), a refrigerator (we have not opened it), and an old piano that has a large layer of dust and some broken keys, bits and pieces


I don't know if anyone has had to move a piano.  Not top on the list of most that have done it in the past.  If we can't find a home for this it might end up at the dump.  It isn't anything special and also has not been taken care of.
