Featured Any info on antique(?) cigarette lamp w/retracting elec. lighter?

A very cool find at the thrift store today!
1950s? 1960s? cigarette/cigar lamp with a ashtray and a electric lighter on a spring loaded electrical line that pulls the lighter back into its spot after you finish.
But I'm not testing it! The lamp's electrical cord looks good, but the lighters cord looks a little iffy - turn the lighter's swith & it might lite more than my Cigarette!
I'll definitely recommend replacing it to potential buyers - but the lamp itself is as cool as cool can be !

How old is it?
Is it wrought iron like the twisted pieces on the shade/finial suggest?
And what is that figure/creature at top of finial? It looks like a artistic crocodile to me!

Any information about it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

 

Killer lamp that I take to be 1930s. The mica shade is the star of this lamp.

 

Here is the underside with the retractable mechanism.
Also the shade connects differently than any I've seen before - the bolt under the upside down U shape screws into the lamp connecting the shade to it!

 

The "creature" kind of looks like it might be a 'sideways' Octopus????

 

Thanks!

 

That's been run over!

Better yet, see if you can sell it to this guy ...

The mica shade is fantastic!

The finial creature reminds me of some Virden dog head lamps, even though it’s not the same.

 

Thank you roaring20s!

 

1920's - so is it art deco or art nouveau?
Thank you everyone for your help with this!

 

Great score J,nailed it ! I'd say it was Deco Spanish Revival w/ fancier (the base & floral motifs) baroque/rococo touches.
'1930's California Spanish Revival Wrought Iron/Bronze (Brass) Lamp Lighter'.
I'd really play with keywords on this one-you could make some loot on this (unless you wanted to sell it to me cheap-along w/ that Chicken Egg Vending Machine !).

 

I think it is meant to be a dragon. A link with fire.

Neither. Both Art Nouveau and Art Deco are period styles, not periods.
It is the same period as Art Deco, but not in the Art Deco style. Other styles were also popular during the 20s and 30s.

 

And his is missing ashtray and mica shade!

 

I wish we could explain this to everyone advertising their old 1950s-70s furniture as MCM when it's anything but!

 

Exactly!

 

I recently picked up a TC Virden dog head chandelier of their Beacon Hill line. I popped in here and searched “Virden” on this forum to see if I could discover some info. This thread was the only hit.

Here’s the Virden dog head, on what could be described as Spanish Revival (marked 1930)







And in it’s original glory, it looked like this

 

It is cool.

I'm curious about the lighter. Did it function in the same way as a car lighter: you have to push it in to get it to heat and it pops up when ready? Otherwise you'd have a red hot coil constantly exposed.

 

You pushed a button on it to heat tip up, but I never tried because the electric cord was shot.
I sold it a few months ago .

 

Looks like a typical Celtic animal design.
