What do you call the curtain rod type that fits this bracket?

Question

We have 2 of these fixtures that are permanently installed across 2 metal doors that date back to around the 1940's - 1950's. Changing the bracket isn't really feasible, so I wanted to get a rod that fits but I don't know what to call it to search online, and I haven't found anything locally or with the keywords I was using for a web search. I used to see these all the time when I was a kid, but that was over 30 years ago now.

Those are brackets to hold roller shades.

It kind of looks like the ones we used with a pull down shade.

I believe these are brackets for a roller shade.

MN Mom · Answer

Those are from roller shades. You would insert the pin end first and then slide the other edge into place.

Leona Price · Answer

There brackets to hold vinyl roller shades!

Gloria DiBenedetto · Answer

They are for roller shades as mentioned, but couldn't you use a wooden rod with a nail in the end of it cut to length? Then you could make or use standard rod pocket curtains or a nice valance.

Danielle · Answer

I actually did find 2 roller shades at our local Habitat for Restore for $2 each, and they are working great, except that you can see the bracket from outside, which I consider totally tacky. So... I bought a great table cloth that has perfect colours and am making faux valances that will hang between the shade and glass to cover the hardware from outside, then making cornices for the inside to hide the shade. Best part is the tablecloth was only $15 and I'll get 2 faux valances, 2 cornices and have enough fabric left over to do another cornice for the window in my pantry.  Love saving that cash!
