I need a clear glass crystal for a 405-477. Having no luck finding one.
Will purchase or trade.
PM if you have one. Thanks!
Same crystal as the "Banner".
Will take a G-S (lucite) as last resort.

I like a challenge . I think I can help you with your crystal need and in glass.
Could you post a picture of the case, just to be sure.

Hi Liz,

I think the case number should be 405 447, rather than 477. In either case, I have an original factory Gruen glass crystal if you still need it.

Regards,

Cary

Hi, Cary -

One would think so because I just removed the crystal from the Banner and it's a perfect fit in this one , but...

I guess it could be a mis-stamp. It doesn't show up on any crystal list.

This is why I need a new crystal...

Yes, yes! I'll take it. I've been searching for one of these for over 2 years. They seem to be in short supply.

I just finished one very similar to that! Will be beautiful when you get the new crystal in there!

People you thought were your best friends will stab you in the back to your face!

Love them anyway.
