very cool
I've seen the figure before and I think it was used as a generic retail store decoration...most likely used in a sporting goods store...basically considered an advertising piece except there's no advertising.
Now the one you have there is a whole new ball game...I've never seen it as a lamp...I would think perhaps someone may have made it into a lamp...Perhaps the way the wiring looks might provide something...if it looks very professional maybe it was originally a lamp...if the wiring job looks a little home spun it's probably something made up...but still very cool as far as I'm concerned....you want to flip it I'm definitely your guy PM me. -Carlton

Here is the back of the lamp. Check out the makings on right side. There is a circle with a c in it and FW 47. I may learn how to use this computer yet

I am not convinced that the "47" refers to the manufacture date. It might, but the overall uniform style looks earlier... especially with the short brim cap.
I was thinking early 1940s, with remote possibility of late '30s. Just my opinion. Of course, if the 47 refers to the date of manufacture, I stand corrected. Either way, it's a very attractive and well-made piece.

Perezfan I only say this because in other forms of pottery this is often the case. Not much way to prove this without knowing the maker. I researched the initials and nothing fits. That leads me to believe this could have been a very small pottery outfit and if that is true than the numerical date would be more likely.
