Man that sofa and chair set are SWAG!

My wife's Grandfather passed away last year (Grandmother 2 years earlier), and while going through their house cataloging items to remove (jewelry, guns, hidden money, etc.), my father in law told us that when we are ready (and the family is ready) we could have what antique furniture and items in the house. Well her family owns a ranch and all of her grandparent's decor is country or cowboy, but much of it is from the 50's. When we get the room cleared out in our house we will be aquiring a full set of wagon wheel furniture with original vinyl covering, her grandparent's covered everything to protect the fabrics. the set includes a fold out sofa-bed, 2 chairs, end tables, and hanging lamps. Perfect for that 1950's cowboy look I wanted in my den. There are also a non-cowboy lamps, including this one I snapped a pic of. Like I said, it's still in the house untill the family is ready to start parting with it.

I didn't pick it up to get a makers mark, but I recall seeing an article in a magazine about the maker of these lamps. I heard they go for big bucks on eBay (atleast at the time of the article).
