if you have windows big enough, you might just stand them in your window, setting it on the sill and leaning against your window. You mentioned getting older, so I'm guessing you don't have little ones around to worry about the safety factor.
You could make a partial room divider out of them. You could also use them as a top for a coffee table (indoor or outdoor).
I see a sunroom in your future.....!
Very nice... I would make square wooden frames, and route out a channel in the middle of the uprights, insert a metal channel, and install the panels horizontally one on top of the other.... would have to see if you would need to put a clip between each glass panel.

With the scalloped edging they would make a great coffee table with two together. You could use them singly also to make one of those tables you put behind a couch. I have a black wrought iron aquarium stand that would be perfect for behind a love seat.
Great ideas everyone, I really appreciate it!
Too bad you're so far away from Wisconsin... I'd be interested in a couple! They're gorgeous!! I've used old glass in many of the houses I've worked on creating interior windows. This link should take you to some of the ones I've written about... maybe you'll find some inspiration. :) http://simpledecoratingtips.com/mantels-vignettes-tablescapes-and-lighting/interior-windows/
Dresser top. Buffet top. Coffee table top. A glass company can cut them to size for you. Have a piece cut to place plants on top of.
I would use them as hutch door updates.
Love them. Put a frame around a couple and hang them on the wall. With the wall color showing through they will be very attractive. You could also paint some of the design and it would give it the stained glass effect.
Beautiful !
Wow, those are big panels! Do you have anywhere you can use them for shelves (in front of a window where the sun would shine through and you can put glass knick-knacks on them comes to mind)?
My first thought was side lights. I have a window I've been dying to change to an exterior door, and sidelights would add much needed sunshine to that room.
You could use them as a room divider as you enter the front door box in a ledge and add those to the top📌🎄Heres a picture idea but you would add the glass panel where the plant is📌. Even in the bathroom a 3/4 wall with those on top.
