If Jdip kindly supplies the measurements, just have it fabricated
It's only a bent strip of metal with holes.
If Jdip doesn't supply the exact measurements, you could still come up with an accurate-enough estimation so long as you have the photo & the scissor-lamp itself to measure. If the strip you make were a tad wider or narrower, it wouldn't matter-- so long as the inside height of the "C" were absolutely accurate & projection from wall kind-of accurate, it'd work just fine. Show the photo to the metal fabricator, and bring the lamp so he can get an accurate idea of the hole-size the swivel mount needs to fit into (I assume that the vertical rod is removable to fit into the wall mount-- or, does the C-shaped bracket need to have just enough flexibility so the rod can be wiggled in? Maybe Jdip can answer.)
Once you get this thing made, you can then use Riki's daughter-in-law's new powder-coat paint product to coat it white.
No, you won't find this doohickey in a bin at Home Depot.
more than 1 way to skin a cat...
unless you want something exact to original, you could always find something that would more than suffice {two separate brackets, etc} and in doing put your own spin on the thing....if nothing else, Ikea {i heard that scoff} has an accordion wall mirror{$5}, slide the bar out, compress the accordian, slide bar through said bracket and attaching arms, mount to wall and enjoy your lamp rather than fretting over a U-shaped piece of metal with 4 holes....finito
well....
the spacing is about 6 inches{have the mirror}...but i should have looked before posting...the small studs that hold the rod are not drilled all the way through...they are cylindrical studs press fitted into the mounting plate and the rod is a compression fit into holes...still totally an option, just not as easy as 1-2-3.....maybe more like 1-2-3-4-5....oh well....just remember-the simplest solution is very often the best solution....
p.s. have always though about making my own scissor lamp using this bracket, a steel funnel, and some craftiness
A bunch of good
ideas here. A metal shop could easily duplicate that part -- they might want $40 or $50 for it, though. If the screw eyes are put into a wood wall stud, you'd be fine -- a rather permanent solution ? Metal studs, or no stud, would be out of the question.
For $5, the IKEA mirror would be worth trying, as a start ? The original bracket is unusually (unnecessarily ?) broad, isn't it.
My parents bought me a knock-off of this piece for my bedroom, when I was a kid fifty years ago.
