Post by Pokey »

I have just started a restoration project on a Halo sign by Price Brothers that I recently acquired from eBay. I was the only bidder. Here are the photos from the eBay auction.

Already stalled. I cannot get the glass out of the frame. It looks like it is just kept in place by the compression of the frame.
I tried slip a really skinny screwdriver in between to pry on it. I don't want to break the glass, but usually metal wins over glass when you start prying things apart. Any suggestions?
