That looks really nice! I was able to get a piece of glass, similar, from a glass place in the town where I live. It was for a Frigidaire which had a textured glass shelf. They had a similar textured glass in stock for shower doors. It looked great. They polished and rounded the edges as well. Looked factory! | ||

Just a thought
on your comment with regard to replacing a missing shelf with a glass one. Don't know if it might cause a problem but these old refrigerators didn't have forced circulation. The air circulated inside the cabinet on the simple principle that cold air coming off the evaporator coils fell to the bottom of the cabinet which forced the warmer air up. Replacing a missing wire shelf with a glass one might interfere with the normal circulation of air causing the unit to run longer to maintain a given temperature.
I had a similar experience (but in reverse) a few years ago with a 1950 single door Philco. When I got it the factory plastic drawer which belonged directly under the freezer box was missing. The container of water I had on the middle shelf to check temperature kept forming ice on it no matter how warm I set the control. I found a drawer to replace the missing one and the temperature then raised to where it should have been. | ||
