I don't know about window glass, but I took my mirror to two local shops and got two copies of my original (on the right in the picture). The mirror with my name taped on it was the right size, but only 1/8 inch thick. It was ready about 12 hours after I ordered it. The mirror in the frame came back within a week with the right width and height, but the guy for some reason decided he didn't like the angle or finish of the original, so he gave it a different angle and a gloss finish. I guess some people don't understand what "reproduction" means.
