Rare Vintage MCM Metal Iron Lamp Atomic Era Mid Century Modern 50s Saucer Shade

Description: ITEM: For your consideration we are presenting for sale a rare vintage atomic era table lamp. Circa '50s. The framework of the lamp is iron. Each of the three arms that extend upward end in a small horizontal extension which the black metal saucer-shaped shade rests atop. At the center of the lamp is an off-white pierced metal cone that contains the light socket on the inside. The lamp has a round black metal base at the bottom, upon which is a standard rotary knob switch that is used to turn the lamp on/off. There are no labels or signatures attached - we are uncertain of the manufacturer at this time. MEASUREMENTS: With the shade attached, the lamp stands approx. 19.5" tall x 12.5" wide x 12.5" deep. The distance from the bottom of the base to the top of the lamp frame is approx. 15". There is a distance of approx. 11" between each of the three extensions that the shade rests atop. The pierced white metal shade that contains the light socket is approx. 7" tall x 5" in diameter (measured across the top). The round black metal base at the bottom of the lamp measures approx. 6" in diameter. CONDITION: Overall the lamp is in very good condition for its age. There are a few cosmetic things which we'll mention now. First off, the round saucer shade has a small shallow dings to it. They were hard to photo, but if you look carefully they are there. The metal is somewhat lightweight and malleable, so they may be able to be worked out. They are shallow, and didn't bother us, so we just left them alone. Next, the white conical shade has some light surface marks on it - we didn't attempt to clean them, so we're uncertain as to whether or not they'll come off. They look like superficial marks on the paint (see photos). Otherwise, the lamp is in great shape and is in working order. The wiring looks to be original to the lamp, and it's in great shape - there are no frays, splits, exposed or brittle wires. The lamp is in fully-functioning, working condition.
