This lamp was made in St. Louis by the Robin Art Co (1907-1974) Robia Ware line (1909-1949). I tried to date the lamp researching various aspects: Leviton lamp plug, company established 1906 in 1937 they began producing cords and plugs to their line. Dutch Boy Paint began using the blonde Dutch boy logo in 1907. Various listings of this lamp refer to it as 1930's, 1940's, 1950's. Ultimately my best guess is 1937-1949, likely late 1940's.
