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!

My Mom used Pride, it smelled kinda like gasoline to me. I remember that it dried to a haze that she wiped off. I think it was better than Pledge spray.

Aladdin desk lamp

I have one exactly like in the ad. According to my parents, it belonged to my dad's father, who moved in with us when I was a couple months old. I hope I still have the shade, as I took it off at some point in time to use a floodlight bulb in it.

My mom always used Johnson's Pride wax on our wood furniture as long as it was made. I have a couple glass bottles, and one still has a little left in it. The bottles are exactly alike, but their is a slight difference in the labels.
