Several years ago I got a Modeline lamp like the one in the image, missing its four plastic shades. The shades are basically sheets of flexible plastic material that fit into slots on the wood frame of the lamp. The person selling the lamp in the image told me that the corrugated plastic shades on her lamp appeared to be original to the lamp. The images of her lamp were the first I was able to find showing the lamp with intact shades.I know it is a longshot, but anyone know of a source for plastic sheet material like this? And, lacking any source for the corrugated type of material, I am open to suggestions for alternatives. Sheet styrene?

Hey tchp,
Do you still have that Aubock nutcracker you picked up from that thrift store? I would love to add it to my collection and will pay handsomely. Please let me know. I do not know how to direct message you.

I talked to Moonshine Shades as Jdip suggested. They have the old style fiberglass parchment lamp shade material available that they sell by the yard, and they sent me some samples. It worked really well with my Modeline lamp, and I think it will look better than the original shade material, so I ordered a yard from them ($48 a yard). The roll length is 48", so a yard is 36" x 48". Until now I had not been aware that fiberglass parchment was even still available.
