There’s other lamps out there but as far as the company goes the only other reference I see is from a PDF of a Billboard magazine https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj7joTf46juAhWPaM0KHaUDDm04FBAWMAl6BAgLEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fworldradiohistory.com%2FArchive-All-Music%2FBillboard%2F60s%2F1968%2FBillboard%25201968-06-22.pdf&usg=AOvVaw24jJf_tGoxWzJk80Vai1LW
If it’s there it’s somewhere in 104 pages of stuff and not sure what it is, guessing an advertisement. I tried to do a search but got no matches.

MarkBlemish I can't reply to you so I'm putting my reply here and hope you see it.
I was that Billboard magazine when looking it up, using a searching tool the only mention of the company was one use of the name in the music section. For the lamps, the only ones I have really seen are desk lamps and one larger piano lamp sold at auction. There was one other of their lamps on this very site but again it's the desk lamp and not the piano lamp. In all my research this specific size of lamp I have shared here is the only record of it on the internet.

This place doesn’t have any info https://www.madeinchicagomuseum.com/ but maybe they’d have some interest because of the lamps. There is a place to contact them. Weird not to find anything.
