Awesome Old $20.00 Lamp (Help & Info Needed)

Picked this up for $20.00 at a yard sale. The lady who sold it to me was in her mid-70s and said she grew up with this lamp and she believes its almost 100 years old. It does not have a name on it but it appears to be an expensive lamp. Any information on the lamp or what it's worth is very appreciated. Thanks.

Where is the shade? that is very important to pricing.. looks to me like it might have been a tiffany style shade to it...

Cool lamp, but to me it looks like its from the 50s or 60s. Check the under the legs on the cast and see if there is a date. The socket, color of the metal, and the on off switch make me think its not 100 years old, but its hard to tell from one picture. Eh or they could have just replaced the socket and switch with a new one.

It is a Hollywood Regency lamp either way.

I agree that part is modern, also the part the holds the shade is spring loaded and might be from the 60s or later.

Thanks guys. There is no shade that came with it and I cannot find a date or a name anywhere. What should I price it at on feebay? I see Hollywood Regency lamps range from $100 to $3,000.
