    Hi all looking for some help. This was my childhood room lamp. I know there is a style name for it..... atomic? Original fiberglass shade.
    Had my DH get it from attic..was thinking about it recently.

    no markings at all..felt had be removed from bottom. Looks like maybe rewired.

    maybe more pics when I can 20220710_141356 my old lsmp resized.jpg

    I think this base is similar though on reflection not exactly the same. They mention that they don't know if the shade is original. The say it's a Bartlett Collins lamp and I thought that might be a name to research.

    Agree with Kronos. It is from roughly the same time as the atomic/space age decor craze, but it is not of that style.
    Fab lamp!
