I don't understand this lamp. The bulb is under the figure's
middle, with no space for a standard candelabra bulb....and the
cord comes out the front? The candelabra bulbs I'm familiar
with, and use, are tall and pointy. I see only a lily-pad
shaped socket.
Maybe I'm seeing it wrong?
(I'm not sure how you can tell that's an original cord
and socket - that style is still made.)
How about some close-ups of the socket, the inner part of
the plug, and the base of this lamp. Any markings? |

art nouveaux....circa 1920....at 22" inches tall, it is an unusual size.
May be one of a pair. |

A few months ago I saw a little display of very similar stuff.
I stopped dead... and scratched my head like a monkey.
Finally figured it must be new.
It was behind glass, it took me a minute. ;)
Thanks, Mike.

Wait... there are a couple of undamaged brain cells rubbing up against
each other.
1980's. Late 80's.
Yep.

Antique Dealers"......or maybe " Obamas Senate Re-election Campaign"..... |

I'm heavy on the style, I've never seen this one before and I've been in
the business since the early 60's.
Some things you have to examine, things like new " Old Cords & Plugs "
are readily available. Some look
pretty good, but were made last year eg this piece
