At about the time GE was making this set, Philco, Admiral and others were using plastic. Consider that if you were to pick up a 10BP4 and try to throw it through a sheet of plexiglass I really don't know if you could do it. I had to replace the one on a '50 Philco as some chemical had left spots etched in it. A replacement from the glass company (some sort of plexiglass, or whatever they sell) was cheap and easy to obtain. I suspect that plain window glass wouldn't really be safe but thicker or laminated glass should be fine.
John, that site you link to is quite impressive!
