    I bought this lamp at a yard sale in Cal in the 60's. ($25, that was a lot of money back then). The hobo stands 21 1/2 inches high. With the shade it's 41 1/2 inches high. It has the original shade. It appears to be plaster of paris or some chalky type clay. Does anyone know if these were mass produced. There are no markings on it. Who is it suppose to be ? Any information would be interesting.
