This item definitely has that awesome, vintage look. Almost resembling a skyscraper, it has a brass ball & plate on top to place a candle. Couldn’t find much online about it, other than lamps of the same era with similar bases. I obtained it from an estate sale at an antique shop, and it is near flawless. No chips, gouges or scratches that I can find in the wood base. Brass top has some age discoloration, but no pitting from oxidation, and may be cleanable of you like. Very cool, rare piece.
