An auction ended on eBay earlier this month which had a seldom seen Felt Flocked Vigil Sash. Rob Higgens in his History of the OA Sash site states that these types of sashes were used from circa 1948 to 1951.

Wikipedia describes flocking as
Flocking is the process of depositing many small fiber particles (called flock) onto a surface. It can also refer to the texture produced by the process, or to any material used primarily for its flocked surface. Flocking of an article can be performed for the purpose of increasing its value in terms of the tactile sensation, aesthetics, color and appearance. It can also be performed for functional reasons including insulation, slip-or-grip friction, and low reflectivity.
Eleven distinct bidders drove the price of this sash to over $ 55o.oo. Five of them were still bidding at $ 400.00 and higher.
