funky little beige 1970's (?) desk lamp

Another little 'nearly free' item scored from the rummage sale recently. Who knew that if you showed up during the final hour, a nice volunteer lady would hand you a basket and say "fill it up with anything left that fits, for $2"...??? A deal which I absolutely COULD NOT resist -- I actually ended up giving them $10 for the basketful by the time I gathered and paid, still a h*lluva deal for the assortment of soon-to-be 'leftover' crap I found still remaining on the already well picked over tables. [next yr, I've absolutely *gotta* get up earlier on the Sat morning this sale will happen again, if only to see what their "good stuff" is??!! <lol>]

There's nothing terribly special or unique about this little lamp, I only grabbed it because it reminds me of a similar one which was in my folks' house while I was growing up. Painted sheet metal construction with a gooseneck holding its conical 'shade' with tapered wood finial, its base is about 5" across and it sits roughly 12" - 16" high depending on how much it is bent over. A pushbutton on/off switch controls its 'medium base' size lightbulb socket. No mfr's marks or info on it.

Also don't have much of any idea what the frick *to do* with its bland oatmeal-beige colored self...mebbe I should take it all apart and repaint it bright red, just to give it some slight little bit of 'character' for the first time in its life...?? <LOL>
