<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 11086704, member: 37"]Thanks for the better photos. The body of the lamp is definitely of Eastern origin (Middle East, North Africa). The rest of the parts, including the feet, seem to be Western in origin. Sockets are American. Either someone had this made up as a one-off or a company produced lamps combining parts. </p><p><br /></p><p>The wiring needs to be replaced. It may not be original anyway. Looks to be late 60s or 70s, while the sockets are much older. If this were a one-off creation, I could see someone using an older lamp socket assembly with other newer parts at the time the wiring was done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
