Anyone know where this ad was published?

This is a vintage original ad, not a copy or reproduction. Measures 10 and ¼ by 14 inches. Buyer pays 2.00 postage. International buyers welcome if they will pay exact postage to their country.

Inner Windshield with Original Marked Glass on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Parts This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Josh has this rare combo for sale.

“You are bidding on an ORIGINAL INNER WINDSHIELD with original 1944 Factory marked GLASS for a WW2 WILLYS MB Jeep.

This is a very unique opportunity to own one of the rarest items you possibly could for a MB or GPW.
+Rarely are inner windshields not rusted out.
+Almost unheard of is two intact panes of factory glass with factory markings. These things were probably breaking since day one.
+ Unheard of is a inner windshield in this condition found separate of find of a once in a lifetime unrestored jeep find.

The windshield frame is in amazing condition with very little surface rust. I believe the original paint is intact below a layer of black paint that is flaking and chipping off in places.
Both panes are marked 5-44 and in good shape; no chips, no cracks, there are however a few scratches in the glass that are hard to capture in pictures but nothing that really directly impedes the view while driving or obnoxiously stands out too much.”

It’s got the wrong windshield and front bumper, but otherwise looks like a M-38.

“The Military never issued vin numbers or titles so in the state of Nevada I have to see the Judge to get a title. I do not have time…want somebody to buy this that knows the history on how to buy this vehicle. Bought from a rancher and runs great, I bought lots of restoration parts….ask or questions….”
