Could it be part of a Black and White Whisky display or ad? The terrier is identical to theirs. I remember as a child my dad gave me a couple of magnets, one black, one white of these little terriers. They were exactly like the one in the light bulb, with a magnet glued to their feet. I played with them quite a bit, and can still close my eyes and "feel" them in my hand.

Can you post a pic of the cord and plug.If not rewired it could tell approximate age.At this point I would have dated it in the 40s but the bulb is from the 30s which I could also see this being made in the 30s.
