Tall one
Is this the one you were thinking of? It is the closest I could find, but the details are all different. Not that it would surprise me if it were lightolier, as there are so many variations on the tripod from that company. The shade and the rest appears to have original finish on mine.

The link
The link you posted is the lightolier I was thinking of. Didnt recall the differences from memory. So similar though. Wouldn't be shocked to find its just a variation of it. A lamp collector friend of mine purchased the 3 headed one on eBay not too long ago. He isn't sure who the manufacturer is so I am of no help to you. Sorry about that. They are really nice lamps though.
Inches and feet
Good edit, Glassartist. Things like that can have disastrous results. Just ask Spinal Tap.
