Vintage Crystal Table Lamp with UL Certified Brass Socket

This item is a vintage table lamp featuring a combination of cut crystal and metallic components. The primary focus of the image is the electrical assembly, which includes a weathered brass-finished 'portable lamp' socket. A distinctive Underwriters Laboratories (UL) sticker is adhered to the socket body, displaying issue number 88-2336 and file number E101924-A, suggesting mid-to-late 20th-century American manufacture. The socket is operated by a black plastic turn-knob switch. Below the socket sits a polished chrome-finished metal neck that transitions into the lamp's body. The body consists of clear cut-glass or crystal, featuring a deep vertical and crisscross prismatic pattern that indicates a traditional or Hollywood Regency style influence. The overall condition shows visible signs of age including patina and oxidation on the brass socket, light scuffs on the chrome neck, and minor peeling and discoloration of the UL certification label. The insulation at the top of the socket appears to be a worn cork or fiber material, showing some fraying. The craftsmanship represents a standard mid-market decorative household fixture from the 1960s-1980s era, designed for durability and classic aesthetic appeal.
