Could someone post a picture of an original 1931 slant window rear window shade and bracket. I am going to a friends house to look through his parts and I need to know what I am look for. how long is the wide is the roller and fabric. I could use any other help in identifying the darn thing. The judging standards help but not enough.
 
I believe that the rear window and quarter window shade brackets are the same for all Model A's. Here are the originals in my 190A.

As I recall the Victoria and Slant Window Sedans have a wider curtain than say a Deluxe Tudor or Deluxe Coupe. I don't recall the exact dimension but I think it was around 26", with the Tudor and Coupe being narrower.
 
Their are several different window shades.

Vic/Slant 4 door rear
Tudor/Coupe/straight windsheild 4 door
Briggs 1/4 windows
Murray 1/4 windows

And I thought (but no sure) that 1928 ones were different.

All had silk shades.
 
The Model A 1931 160 series 4 door sedans and the 190A Victoria use a 26" wide rear curtain. The 26" curtain roller does not have nickel curtain stops like the 24" curtain rollers do. I have attached a picture of my original Victoria's rear window curtain.

I believe that it originally had a pull tab.
The Restoration guidelines call it a flange. See page 12-14 of the guidelines.
