Base felt is in good shape and appears to be newer. Age appropriate wear to base including small areas of exterior finish loss (Greenalite #229).

Approximate dimensions:

square base: 6 3/4″ x 6 3/4″

S. Robert Schwartz manufactured a variety of industrial goose-neck lamps and desk lamps in the early 1900’s. Schwartz’s Greenalite lamps are comparable to McFaddin’s Emeralite and Fairies Amronlite/Verdelite lamps.
