<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 99184, member: 177"]I do not know who made it but we called them "pin up lamps" when I was growing up 1930s-50s. They were used all over the house as wall sockets and extension cords were more available than the built in lighting of today. I agree likely a kitchen or dinning nook. Sinks were under windows and had better light than the rest of the room. Could also have been over a bed for reading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
