After WWII my father started a business by buying scrap military plexiglass from yards around Florida. He would cut, polish, heat and form it into hundreds of items. My mother could reverse drill it with dental hand drills and create incredibly fine detail scenes. She would then paint the drilled area. After polishing the image would appear floating in the plexiglass.They made jewelry also and sold it to just about every gift shop on the beaches surrounding the state. Pieces that once were aircraft windshields could easily have been formed into a cover like in the above photo. I still have a few of the pieces my mother crafted back in the 40’s.
