Try and see if an architectural salvage place wants them?

An architectural salvage place will pay you bupkis for them - they probably are already overstocked with them anyway. After all, they make their living dismantling homes and commercial buildings, so the fact that you may have already done that doesn't provide any added value to them. You will often find ads for old wavy glass windows on Craigslist. Mostly people will use them for crafts and such, and not much else. It's actually extremely difficult for someone who's restoring an old house to find the exact size window sash s/he needs for the window space available. Most people prefer to pay a little for the wavy glass and get new, custom sashes made instead. Unfortunately, your windows' greatest value would be in the building where they were originally installed - properly restored and in working order.

Anywhere you can get any amount for them.
While you may consider them rare, it is very hard to sell them for residential use as they have to be the right size.
As mentioned, they CAN be used in craft projects, but that market is a frugal market.
