Is it a Stiffel?

The Stiffel Lamp Company was founded in 1932, in
Chicago and quickly became known for their quality-made
brass and metal table lamps.

One way to tell if you have a Stiffel lamp is by looking for a
small foil decal on the inside of the shade, on the lamp
bottom, or on the socket with the wording “Stiffel” or
“Stiffel Lamp Company.”

Older lamps may also have the patented Stiffel switch.
The switch works by allowing you to pull down on the
lamp's column to turn the light on or off.
