I'm thinking it's a mustard tin that someone turned into a lamp. Thats probably why you can't find any info on it.
Here is a similar tin.

I thought about that too. but it has a UL sticker on the bottom and a UL number. it says UL portable lamp g-1928.
Hummmm..... maybe a promotional item? Something given to the company heads? It's a mystery, if you find anything out let us know!
the tin is a repro made by replicans of bedforf england and was made in contemporary times,the lamp has been made using it,the cans are often passed off as vintage but they are not so. nice lamp by the way ide be happy to have one,and considering i have the same tin i may do the same!
I just got one of these-same shade only the can is more pink! This tells me it wasn't made by an individual. I was looking for some information as well-if you have learned anymore, please share :-)
