Can you tell me any way to identify a Sonneman orb floor lamp over the knock offs? I have two of the chrome orbs (sometimes called eyeballs) with arms. One lamp has three arms, the other lamp has one. Any marks or screws I should be aware of? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

sonneman details on 3 arm floor lamp
I have a lamp I think is a 3 arm sonneman but I have never been able to find another with the top hat type shades it has in place of the orbs. It has the same specific hardware as all the sonneman attributed 3 arm lamps I have been able to find.
If you google this phrase:
"Mid-Century Modern Chrome 3-Light Eyeball Floor"
you will see clear detailed pics of a lamp attributed to sonneman but not confirmed...I have included the link but not sure if it is allowed.
the pictures in this post are my lamp...sorry did not have very good ones
