Bob, there is ight & day difference between Cut Glass and Etched Glass. Cut glass that I wave watched was done using leather wheels spinning with a paste aggregate where the glass was cut by layers. Glass Etching was done using a media to just frost the glass. Cut glass equals $$!

It appears the etched glass wind wings on the market are made by A&L and in only one pattern. Bratton's and Mac's carry them.
What we will probably do is purchase the plain ones and either have them etched or try to do it ourselves. I have a bead blaster and if we can find a suitable pattern it might be a good project for a 15-year old.

Tom, in all honestly, your grandson's initials with maybe a little shadowing around the letters likely will be plenty.
