    1950's Housewife Going out on the Town Lamp! This Specific Era Lamp is Beautiful, Housewife is wearing a White Party dress and is sitting waiting for her husband to say it's ok to have a drink...lol...I can't imagine walking into a Lamp store in the 50's and seeing this and thinking I want this in my house!
    Of course now looking back it is perfect since it says so much about the era and the life of a housewife! Feminist Rise to the occasion!

    This piece does not say anything about the artist, there are no marks or signatures. I have heard it from good authority that there are some of these lamps with a signature, if anyone can help me figure this puzzle out, please comment.. thank you!!
