AMF purchased DeWalt Inc. in 1949 & in 1960 sold DeWalt to Black & Decker.
don't know if same model....but Father-in-law has old model Radial arm saw with similar light attached...his saw is circa 1955
thanks !!! prob 50s then. so maybe it was removed from the radial arm saw and rewired with a Fostoria lamp cord. maybe.
I found a similar one online, made by Fostoria. I guess AMF just added their sticker.
One of my co-workers has this same exact fixture now screwed down to his desk/bench -- but *without* the DeWalt label. Otherwise seemingly exactly the same lamp, color, Leviton socket turnkey, and Fostoria cord. His lamp also has a small rectangular Fostoria maker's label on the backside of its lower stem, just under the 'elbow' swivel joint. Realizing this info doesn't really help to give it a manufacturing date, but I'd tend to agree it is likely 1940's-50's, based on that style of Leviton turnkey.
