6 ROUND BRONZE OPENING PORTLIGHTS SALVAGED FROM COMPAC 23

I  have 6 Compac 23 bronze portlights salvaged from a Compac 23 that fetched up on a gravel beach after slipping her mooring and pounded for days.  Eight inch flange diameter, 5 inch glass diameter.  They are in very good condition, only need cleaning and new gaskets.  I would guess that they are about 25 years old.  One of the 6 has a slight indentation where the worker with the Sawzall removing the ports accidentally nicked the bronze.  Only incidental and aesthetic imperfection, no effect on function whatever.  As you know, these early Hutchins bronze ports had no external trim rings, thru-bolted with cap nuts and fender washers on the outside of the cabin.
I'm asking $100.00 for all 6.  I don't want to sell them separately.  They are very heavy, so it would be worth your while if you are in the Chesapeake Bay region to come get them.  Postage will be expensive for shipping.  Reply here with an e-mail address or tel. #.
Thanx
