Believe it or not, this was seen in Kitwe, Northern Rhodesia (now) Zambia, Central Africa. We lived there for 5 years 1955-1960. Yes it must have been customized because it was an extremely detailed crest the company used as part it's logo. Regards' John Ries. Hi Eric,

If it was customized for the store, it was probably definitely a work created from sandblasting. I believe most acid etchings today are done through glass manufacturers on a large scale. What state was this in? I see a lot done in Florida. Hi John, yes most likely it was from sandblasting, but it could have been from acid etching as well.

The glass was about ¼" thick and was deeply etched, even in some places being undercut. It produced a startling effect. Pesumably it was sandblasted. Do you perhaps know about this method?
