Here is another experiment that came out nicely done.
Shades with shade pull. (i guess this is the name)
until today all my window shade where without the pull, honestly I though that is not noticeable, but, it is with light on and off.
here is the sample.

They do make a big difference Andre! Looking very good!!
Very nice Andre. Yes, they are very noticeable and the correct style for the older shades.
Nice, but actually your not wrong with or with out the pull ring. As a kid, I can remember in our house having both types. My school had ones with a hole in them so you could use a pole with a hook to lower them.

Thank you guys, as always, very informative responses.
Andre.
yep...shades are correct...just like dmasso, suzukovich and others posted...one thing i would like to add...window shades were also made in a green color...we had them back in the late 40's when i lived in macon, georia...
howard...
Ours were old when I was growing up in the '60s. Whithe with no pull string. Dad grew up in the same house, Gramdma got them after the war. I remember the ones with the hole for the stick with the hook for the stick!! Haven't thought of that in over 40 years at least!! Nostalgia! I love it!
Regardless, I like the looks of the pull string ones better, Andre. I'll be making an order before my birthday and Christmas. Mrs. B and the grown daughters are always glad when I do their shopping for them! lol
Ag,
Very Real looking.
Nice Job.

Doug & Mark,
Now I don't feel so old. And No, I didn't have to walk five miles to school in the rain and snow..LMAO
Andre, You brought back memories, Thank you!
Very nice Pappy, and POLITE too. 
Great shade pulls!
Andre, very nice !!!
Thanks,
Alex
That looks great.
We had heavy, loooong green shades at my elementary school built in the late 1800's. Others were shorter, lighter in shade and weight, and stacked to get length. They had wood pull rings, and tarp/rope brass eyelets that the poles could grab. The eyelets were easiest.
They were in the gymnasium, and there were 3 different length poles in a corner by the stage. A favorite "Grumpy Janitor prank" was for kids to get boosted high enough to reach one fully lowered, then pull and release, sending it spinning, and kids scattering
The Grumpy Janitor had to get out a heavy wooden 40-50 ft ladder each time
.
(Nope!
I was too short!
)
I have a tiny little motor from inside a digital camera that could pull off the window shade movement.
Very nice - cost to get them?
Love it - really adds a nice touch. Nice work!
Andre, they really do look nice and as others have said, its a little detail but makes a big difference.
Thank you for sharing.
