Too bad the DuPont "Tontine" shades are not available anymore-liked these BETTER over the new window coverings sold today.Most are UGLY JUNK!!!And---CATCH DUST!!!Blinds----into the dumpster!!!!

 

[circlew]

According to what I could find out, Tontine shades were made of fabric coated with Pyroxylin, which is a nitrocellulose compound used as the base for DuPont Duco finishes and other lacquers.

 

[tolivac]

the nitrocellulose coumpound would make the fabric flammable!!But those shades sure looked nice and worked well!Remember these were sold well into the 70's!Beleive there was a change to a vinyl based fabric treatment after that-the replacement was good,too!
