Steve,

If your 1953 glass is the same as the glass in 1954, here is some information:

L-O-F (LOF) glass : Libbey-Owens-Ford made Polished Plate Glass and Safety Glass (Safety Plate and E-Z-Eye tinted Glass).

LOF is a brand now owned by Pilkington Glass.

I can check my 54 Suburban this afternoon. It had original E-Z-Eye glass. I forget if it had both the L-O-F marking and the E-Z-Eye marking.

There were also window codes and date codes (as shown on yours). Here is very little information I found on an Internet search - oddly, I found a post I made in 2002 (on classicparts.com):

AS-1 xx (AS-1 = windshield, I think)
AS-2 xx (AS-2 = other glass, I think)

The xx is a date code.


I'll also post information about finding a place who can make the original markings.

Can you post photos of your markings?
Or, mail photos to me and I will post them: [email protected]
