<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 194188, member: 37"]I think we're pretty definite that these are Modeline (Read David Field's post above). My inner shade is definitely fiberglass with a bumpy texture. My outer shade is a stiff lacy material. It has no metal other than the top and bottom rings. It is almost as if it is starched or, perhaps, lacquered to the point it was soaked in it. It is stiff, brittle, and breaks pretty easily. I don't know if this fragility is a function of age or if they were fragile originally. There does seem to be some variety in the shades as they came from the factory so perhaps they moved to a less fragile fabric as the line matured.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
