1920-1930's Window Shades

 

I have no info on these window shade other than from a 1927 Studebaker.  Any info on window shades would be helpful.  Sorry I'm not sure how to add pictures.

 

Thank you

Henry

Hi Henry,

 

I presume you mean something like these side window visors?

Dunn Manufacturing was one of them that produced them.

Here is another thread showing a patent design and other info:

Yes! Yes! Yes!  That's what I'm looking for.  Now if I can find more info on who made them, how they work and how to repair.  Thank you HH

They don’t look to be anything particularly special, the material is probably the most important part

The material is special,it’s a no fray material, and the real trick is getting material absolutely square when restoring.  Otherwise, winds up awkward on the roller.  Been there.

Google Heritage automotive interior restorations,  Columbus,  Ohio.  They restore and supply parts/material for those shades. Most of those shades have eyelets in the bottom corners to slide up and down a pair of cords to keep them against the windows.
