Would a lamp like this be considered an Eames Style lamp? It appears to be from the 30's or 40's in my opinion. The lamp has no maker/ or manufacturers name on it.

Nope
Afraid not. That lamp is not at all in the style of Charles and Ray Eames.

Thank You
I'm sorry for my ignorance, I am new to the world of design.

Still
A good score on the Sorensen chairs, though. 😛

I was
going to suggest that one could begin by searching for any lamps actually made by Charles (and Ray) Eames -- who as far as I know never designed a lamp that was manufactured.
Then I realized that, with all the misinformation found on the Web -- with the names of the Eameses (in particular) used with reckless abandon -- it would be next to useless to try to learn such a thing . . .

True
I had found a small chrome lamp searching the web and they had made reference that it was "Eames style" and that was why I had directed my question that way. I guess it is just a art deco period lamp.

Woody knows about this all...

Your lamp strikes me as being a 50s piece rather than a deco one. In one photo there is writing / engraving near the on off switch on the neck that looks like it says "Newton", can you take a better shot of it and post it. On the value front it seems quite ordinary to me so of no significant value but a nice piece none the less.

Woof
You've broken the rules by taking your pathetic insults beyond the realm of the dedicated thread.
I shall now strangle you with my plentiful design yarns.
Ark has a large spool of the titanium-coated plastic variety that I will borrow from. It is a Karim Rashid - Marcel Wanders collaboration.

You're right Woody, I...
You're right Woody, I stepped out of bounds. Please excuse me....I didn't mean to interrupt your orange skin making machine session. Honest!
